ValueChanging behavior

[Louis]

I'm trying to catch the new value inserted in a cell before it gets pushed in the databounditem. 

void grdSearchResults_ValueChanging(object sender, ValueChangingEventArgs e)

{

GridCellBoundColumnElement cell = sender as GridCellBoundColumnElement;

MyObj obj = cell.RowInfo.DataBoundItem as MyObj;

...
}

With the ValueChanging event everything seems to work fine when user naviguate by pressing the tab key. I can get the column unique name and my underlying DataBoundItem so i can do checkup and blabla...

The problem arise when the user click in a cell instead of pressing tab. I then get the value entered in the last cell and the column of the clicked cell ??

Is this a normal behavior? And if so what event can i catch to get this right?

Thanks

Will this be fixed in the release du on next week?

Hello Louis ,

Yes, this behavior currently is subject to change and we hope it will be finalized for the upcoming release. The ValueChanging event should fire on every change of the value when there is an open editor. Also it should not fire when the editor is closing and the value is applied in the grid (then Validating event is fired). You should consider whether this event is more appropriate in your scenario.
