TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem Class

A repository item that stores calculator editor settings.

Declaration

TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem = class(
    TcxEditRepositoryItem
)

Remarks

A calculator editor is a numeric editor with a drop-down calculator window.

The TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem class overrides the Properties property that allows you to access and customize calculator editor settings.

Edit Repository Items and Standalone Editors

Edit repository items are useful when you need to share the same settings between multiple editors of the same type. To accomplish this goal, you can assign the same edit repository item to RepositoryItem properties of all target editors.

Edit Repository Items and Container Controls

A container control item (such as a toolbar edit item or a column (or any other data item) in a Data Grid, Vertical Grid, or Tree List control) can embed an in-place editor shipped with the ExpressEditors Library. An in-place editor exists (and, therefore, has its own WinAPI handle) only when the target container control item is being edited. Otherwise, the container control item displays a static editor image for resource usage optimization.

Create a Calculator Editor Repository Item at Design Time

To create a calculator editor repository item at design time, double-click a TcxEditRepository component to invoke its collection editor.

The collection editor dialog allows you to manage repository items. Click the Add… button to invoke a repository item creation dialog.

Select the CalcEdit item and click the Ok button to create a calculator repository item.

Create a Calculator Editor Repository Item in Code

The following code example creates a calculator editor repository item, customizes editor settings, and assigns the created repository item to two existing unbound calculator editors:

Delphi

uses cxEdit, cxEditRepositoryItems;
// ...
var
  ACalcRepositoryItem: TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem;
  ARepositoryItem: TcxEditRepositoryItem;
begin
  ARepositoryItem := cxEditRepository1.CreateItem(TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem);
  ACalcRepositoryItem := ARepositoryItem as TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem;
  ACalcRepositoryItem.Properties.QuickClose := True;
  ACalcRepositoryItem.Properties.UseThousandSeparator := True;
  // Assigns the created repository item to two existing unbound button editors
  cxCalcEdit1.RepositoryItem := ACalcRepositoryItem;
  cxCalcEdit2.RepositoryItem := ACalcRepositoryItem;
end;

C++

#include "cxEdit.hpp"
#include "cxEditRepositoryItems.hpp"
// ...
  TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem *ACalcRepositoryItem;
  TcxEditRepositoryItem *ARepositoryItem;
  // ...
  ARepositoryItem = cxEditRepository1->CreateItem(__classid(TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem));
  ACalcRepositoryItem = dynamic_cast<TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem*>(ARepositoryItem);
  ACalcRepositoryItem->Properties->QuickClose = true;
  ACalcRepositoryItem->Properties->UseThousandSeparator = true;
  // Assigns the created repository item to two existing unbound button editors
  cxButtonEdit1->RepositoryItem = AButtonRepositoryItem;
  cxButtonEdit2->RepositoryItem = AButtonRepositoryItem;

Calculator Editor Repository Item Deletion

To delete all calculator repository items in a TcxEditRepository component, call its RemoveItems method and pass a reference to the TcxEditRepositoryCalcItem class as a parameter.

If you need to delete an individual BLOB editor repository item, release it directly in code (call the Free procedure in Delphi or use the delete keyword in C++Builder).
