Error icon while editing in cell validating event

[Sankar]

Hi Support,

I was using some logical error validations and this will validate through the cell validating event. It seems that if there is a error in a cell the focus remains in that cell with the error icon. 

Here i need to show the error icon but allow the user to navigate to other cells.

How could i achieve this?

Thanks,
Sankar

Hello Sankar,

In order to achieve your goal, you can try to set GridView's property - ValidatesOnDataErrors to "InViewMode". I can suggest you to check this help article for a reference.

I hope this helps.

Thanks Yoan,

ValidatesOnDataErrors seems to be work on for IDataErrorInfo and INotifyDataErrorInfo. My requirement is to validate through events and need to show the Error Icon also the allows the focus to others. 

How do i?

Hi Sankar,

You could use RowValidating event instead. In this way you will be able to edit any cell in the row and validate it when row edit is finished.
