EditRowViewModel Class

Contains information on a data row that a user currently edits in the edit form.

Namespace: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid

Assembly: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid

#Declaration

C#
public class EditRowViewModel :
    INotifyPropertyChanged

#Remarks

An EditRowViewModel object serves as a binding context for a template that defines the presentation of the grid’s edit form (EditFormPage).

#Example

This example shows how to create a custom view for the grid’s edit form and set up the grid to invoke this form when a user double taps a cell.

The grid is bound to a collection of Employee objects and contains columns to display employee information (photo, name, position, phone, address, hire and birth dates, access level, and information about vacation). A custom edit form will display an employee’s photo and name, and contain editors to modify employee’s phone and address.

Follow the steps below to implement a custom edit form.

  1. Define a data template to be a content for the edit form page. In this example, it is a Grid with a set of labels and editors inside. Its BindingContext is an EditRowViewModel object. Use its Item property to access an object that represents a data source’s record (Employee) and bind editors to its properties.

                xmlns:dxg="clr-namespace:DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid;assembly=DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid"
                x:Class="DataGridExample.MainPage">
        <ContentPage.Resources>
            <DataTemplate x:Key="CustomEditFormContent">
                <ScrollView>
                    <Grid>
                        <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                            <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />

                            <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
                            <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                        <Image Source="{Binding Path=Item.Photo}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0"/>
                        <StackLayout Orientation="Vertical" Padding="50, 20, 0, 0" 
                                     Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1">
                            <Label Text="{Binding Path=Item.Name}"  VerticalOptions="Start"
                                   FontSize="20" FontAttributes="Bold" />
                            <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
                                <Label Text="Phone:"  FontSize="14" WidthRequest="100"
                                       HorizontalOptions="Start" VerticalOptions="Center" />
                                <Editor Text="{Binding Path=Item.Phone, Mode=TwoWay}" 
                                        FontSize="Small" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
                            </StackLayout>
                            <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal">
                                <Label Text="Address:"  FontSize="14" WidthRequest="100"
                                       HorizontalOptions="Start" VerticalOptions="Center" />
                                <Editor Text="{Binding Path=Item.Address, Mode=TwoWay}" 
                                        FontSize="Small" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
                            </StackLayout>
                        </StackLayout>
                    </Grid>
                </ScrollView>
            </DataTemplate>
        </ContentPage.Resources>
        <!-- ... -->
    </ContentPage>
    
  2. In the grid’s DoubleTap event handler, create an EditFormPage instance and pass the specified data template to its constructor as a third parameter.

    <dxg:DataGridView x:Name="grid" ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}" 
                      DoubleTap="DataGridView_DoubleTap">
        <!-- ... -->
    </dxg:DataGridView>
    
    using Microsoft.Maui.Controls;
    using DevExpress.Maui.DataGrid;
    
    namespace DataGridExample {
        public partial class MainPage : ContentPage {
            public MainPage() {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
    
            private void DataGridView_DoubleTap(object sender, DataGridGestureEventArgs e) {
                if (e.Item != null) {
                    var editForm = new EditFormPage(grid, grid.GetItem(e.RowHandle), 
                                    (DataTemplate)Resources["CustomEditFormContent"]);
                    Navigation.PushAsync(editForm);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
  3. In the App.xaml.cs file, assign a NavigationPage instance to the Application.MainPage property and add the MainPage content page to the navigation stack (the application’s root page):

    namespace DataGridExample {
        public partial class App : Application {
            public App() {
                InitializeComponent();
    
                // MainPage = new MainPage();
                MainPage = new NavigationPage(new MainPage());
            }
    
            // ...
        }
    }
