GridViewCalculatorColumn Maxlength

[Ismail]

Hi all,

I have a radgridview with two GridViewCalculator columns. The database table columns to which the data from these calculator columns goes, has the datatype like this : decimal(22,9). Here the gridview columns accept about 31 characters and in turn this will make runtime errors. How can I set the maxlength property for these calculator columns like we set the same for textbox columns? Pls help..

Hello Ismail,

Thank you for writing.  

In order to specify the MaxLength property of RadCalculatorEditor, it is necessary to handle the CellEditorInitialized event and use the following code snippet:

private void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    RadCalculatorEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadCalculatorEditor;
    if (editor != null)
    {
        RadCalculatorEditorElement element = editor.EditorElement as RadCalculatorEditorElement;
        element.EditorContentElement.TextBoxItem.MaxLength = 5;
    }
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Regards,
Dess
