[Solved] Custom GridColumnEditor

[HK]

Hi,

I have created a custom GridColumnEditor that extends GridTextColumnEditor. My custom editor holds a composite control (consisting of a textbox and some other controls) that is used for editing the value. The composite controls shows up with the correct value when I press the edit button, but I have problems extracting the new value when I press the save button, I always get the old value.

I use the following for extracting the new value: (EditItem.Value (which is the textbox value)  always has the old value)


List<UIPhaseItem> items = new List<UIPhaseItem>();

foreach (GridColumn column in e.Item.OwnerTableView.RenderColumns)

{

    if (column is IGridEditableColumn)

    {

        IGridEditableColumn editableCol = (column as IGridEditableColumn);

        if (editableCol.IsEditable)

        {

            IGridColumnEditor editor = editManager.GetColumnEditor(editableCol);

            if (editor is CustomColumnEditor)

            {

                items.Add(((CustomColumnEditor)editor).EditItem);     

            }

        }

    }

}

Any ideas?

Below is my custom column editor.

public class CustomColumnEditor : GridTextBoxColumnEditor
    {
        Public UIPhaseItem EditItem { get; set;}

        public CustomColumnEditor(UIPhaseItem item, long id)
        {
            this.EditItem = item;
            this.EditItem.Enabled = true;
            this.EditItem.Visible = true;
            this.EditItem.ID = id.ToString();
        }

        protected override void AddControlsToContainer()
        {
            this.ContainerControl.Controls.Add(EditItem);
        }

        protected override void LoadControlsFromContainer()
        {
            this.EditItem = (UIPhaseItem)this.ContainerControl.Controls[0];
        }
}

Hello HK,

From what I see from the code snippets I can verify it looks ok.  Can you post full code sample or working application so we can try to reproduce the issue on our side? Meanwhile you may also refer to this help article for further information building custom editors.
