e.OldData vs e.NewData in CellEditEnded

[joe castle]

Hi,

I try to check if the user changed any value in edit mode or not. The problem is that e.OldData != e.NewData even if the user just entered edit mode and came out. For numeric column (with DataFormatString = "{0:N}") the grid shows "0.0", but in edit it shows "0" so the values are not equal. For date column OldData is "" and NewData is null, just because I clicked F2.

Can this be avoided? Or is there a better way to check for changed cell values?

Thank you,

joe

Hello joe castle,

Thank you for pointing this out.
Indeed this is a little bit confusing. This issue is already fixed and will be available with the next latest internal build (Friday 29 January). Please try it and let me know if you have further related questions.

P.S. I've updated your Telerik points accordingly.

I am also trying to determine if the cell has changed and I'm trying to compare the new and old value properties but the new value property is always null. I am using the 2010 Q1 release and my column is using the CellEditTemplate.

My Grid is based off a IList of custom objects. What should I look for to get this to work? Below is the XAML and code I'm trying to get to work.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Line Code" UniqueName="PCWNO">
                                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                                    <DataTemplate>
                                        <telerik:RadComboBox
                                            Text="{Binding Path=PCWNO, Mode=TwoWay}"
                                            IsEditable="True"
                                            ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource odpLineCodes}}"
                                            DisplayMemberPath="T_Line_Code"
                                            TextSearch.TextPath="T_Line_Code"
                                            TextSearch.Text="T_Line_Code">
                                        </telerik:RadComboBox>
                                    </DataTemplate>
                                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                            </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

private void grdProdData_CellEditEnded(object sender, GridViewCellEditEndedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.NewData != null)
                System.Diagnostics.Trace.WriteLine("CellEditEnded" + " - " + e.NewData.ToString());
        }

Hi Brian Thomas,

Indeed when CellEditTemplate is used there is no way to get proper value for GridViewCellEditEndedEventArgs.NewData property at run time. You can use e.EditingElement property which will return the actual editing element (in your case RadComboBox).
