[Solved] Upgrade to Q3 2010 : CellFormatting problem

[Fred]

Hello,

I have upgraded Telerik for Winforms to version Q3 2010 (version 2010.3.10.1109) .
In the _CellFormatting-event I add a RadComboBoxElement to a cell.
Since new version the event behaves strange or different.
e.CellElement.RowIndex is always -1 ?

void gridPositionen_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)

{


       if (e.CellElement.ColumnInfo is GridViewDataColumn && ((GridViewDataColumn)e.CellElement.ColumnInfo).Name == "Me_Dropdown")

       {

       

          if (e.CellElement.Children.Count > 0 || e.CellElement.RowIndex<0)//the comboxbox is already added to cell                        

          return;

 

                    

//NEVER GETS HERE !!!!  e.CellElement.RowIndex is always -1

 

 

                    RadComboBoxElement element = new RadComboBoxElement();

                    e.CellElement.Children.Add(element);

....

How do I get the RowIndex in the CellFormatting-event ? Or is there a new way to add a RadComboBoxElement to a cell ?

Hi,

Yes, you can get the RowIndex

private void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.RowIndex > -1)
    {
        MessageBox.Show(e.CellElement.RowIndex.ToString());
    }
}

Have a look at Emanuel's answer here which has a combobox column in the code.

Hope that helps but let me know if oyu have further questions

No problem. Please remember to mark as answer if this has helped.
Thanks

Ok I will Richard, but I have found the problem or bug. See following exemple :

public testform()
       {
           InitializeComponent();
           radGridView1.CellFormatting += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_CellFormatting);

           radGridView1.BeginUpdate();
           radGridView1.Columns.Add("ID", "ID");
           radGridView1.Columns.Add("NAME", "NAME");
           radGridView1.Rows.Add(1, "John");
           radGridView1.Rows.Add(2, "Bill");
           radGridView1.Rows.Add(3, "Ronald");
           radGridView1.EndUpdate();
       }

       void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
       {
           int i = e.CellElement.RowIndex;
       }

in this exemplee.CellElement.RowIndex is always -1

if I remove radGridView1.BeginUpdate(); and radGridView1.EndUpdate(); from the code then
e.CellElement.RowIndex is not always -1.

A bug ?

Hello,

Another way to get the RowIndex as it appears that it is always -1 when you wrap with BeginUpdate / EndUpdate is in the following way (inside CellFormatting event)

Dim index As Integer = Me.RadGridView1.Rows.IndexOf(e.CellElement.RowInfo)
MessageBox.Show(index.ToString())

hope this helps

RowInfo is also empty . Your function also returns -1.

Hello Fred,

Whilst e.CellElement.RowIndex is always -1 when wrapped in a BeginUpdate / EndUpdate, the above code always returns the correct index for me. (-1 will be returned for header rows)
Please can you try this sampple in a new project. It's just a RadGridView on a form.

Thanks

Public Class Form1

    Public Sub New()
        InitializeComponent()
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        RadGridView1.BeginUpdate()
        RadGridView1.Columns.Add("ID", "ID")
        RadGridView1.Columns.Add("NAME", "NAME")
        RadGridView1.Rows.Add(1, "John")
        RadGridView1.Rows.Add(2, "Bill")
        RadGridView1.Rows.Add(3, "Ronald")
        RadGridView1.EndUpdate(True)

    End Sub

    Private Sub RadGridView1_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs) Handles RadGridView1.CellFormatting


        Dim index As Integer = Me.RadGridView1.Rows.IndexOf(e.CellElement.RowInfo)
        If index > -1 Then
            MessageBox.Show(index.ToString())
        End If
    End Sub

End Class
