Who fired the RadGridView ValueChanged

[Carl]

I have a series of grids on a form, and all but the first one is created at runtime. Each grid has the same ValueChanged event handler attached to it. How can I tell which grid fired it?

private void ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

I tried intercepting the CellClick event (since that fires first) and getting the id from the tag property into a form-wide variable but that seems like a major kludge.

private async void CellClick(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
     myTag = (int)((MasterGridViewTemplate)e.Column.OwnerTemplate).Owner.Tag;
}

Any better ideas?

Thanks

Carl

I'm afraid your approach didn't work. When I tried it both ActiveEditor properties were null. No matter, the approach I showed in my original post did work. However, maybe as a future enhancement the sender parameter should always have a reference to the control

Thanks

Hello Carl,

What comes up to my mind is to check the ActiveEditor property of the RadGridViews. Basically, when a cell is in edit mode, the ActiveEditor property of the control will hold a reference to this editor. This property is null when the RadGridView is not in edit mode. In the ValueChanged event handler, you can check each RadGridView ActiveEditor property if it is Null or not.

private void RadGridView1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var gridEditor1 = this.radGridView1.ActiveEditor;
    var gridEditor2 = this.radGridView2.ActiveEditor;

    if (gridEditor1 != null)
    {

    }

    if (gridEditor2 != null)
    {

    }
}

You can share if this approach will work for you.

Hi Carl,

It is strange that the ActiveEditor property is null in your application. Maybe I am missing something here. Can you share how the cells in the controls are edited? 

If I go back to the ValueChanged event, the sender in my case will be the currently active editor. From the editor you could get its parent GridViewElement.

private void RadGridView1_ValueChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var editor = sender as BaseGridEditor;
    if (editor != null)
    {
        var gridElement = (editor.EditorManager as GridViewEditManager).GridViewElement;
    }

    var gridEditor1 = this.radGridView1.ActiveEditor;
    var gridEditor2 = this.radGridView2.ActiveEditor;

    if (gridEditor1 != null)
    {

    }

    if (gridEditor2 != null)
    {

    }
}

Can you give this approach a try and share if it works for you?

I'm binding a BindingList collection to the grid's DataSource. The only editable column is a checkbox bound to a bool property.

Your approach does work better. Using the gridElement variable I can now do this:

int selectedGridTag = (int)gridElement.GridControl.Tag;

Thanks
