TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem Class

A repository item that stores currency editor settings.

Declaration

TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem = class(
    TcxEditRepositoryItem
)

Remarks

A currency editor is a numeric editor designed to work with monetary values.

The TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem class overrides the Properties property that allows you to access and customize currency editor properties.

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 Currency Editor Repository Item at Design Time

To create a currency editor repository item at design time, double-click an edit repository 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 CurrencyEdit item and click the Ok button to create a currency editor repository item.

Create a Currency Editor Repository Item in Code

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

Delphi

uses cxEdit, cxEditRepositoryItems;
// ...
var
  ACurrencyRepositoryItem: TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem;
  ARepositoryItem: TcxEditRepositoryItem;
begin
  ARepositoryItem := cxEditRepository1.CreateItem(TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem);
  ACurrencyRepositoryItem := ARepositoryItem as TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem;
  ACurrencyRepositoryItem.Properties.UseThousandSeparator := True; // Displays thousand separators
  ACurrencyRepositoryItem.Properties.AutoSelect := False; // Disables automatic value selection
  // Assigns the created repository item to two existing unbound currency editors
  cxCurrencyEdit1.RepositoryItem := ACurrencyRepositoryItem;
  cxCurrencyEdit2.RepositoryItem := ACurrencyRepositoryItem;
end;

C++

#include "cxEdit.hpp"
#include "cxEditRepositoryItems.hpp"
// ...
  TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem *ACurrencyRepositoryItem;
  TcxEditRepositoryItem *ARepositoryItem;
  // ...
  ARepositoryItem = cxEditRepository1->CreateItem(__classid(TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem));
  ACurrencyRepositoryItem = dynamic_cast<TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem*>(ARepositoryItem);
  ACurrencyRepositoryItem->Properties->UseThousandSeparator = true; // Displays thousand separators
  ACurrencyRepositoryItem->Properties->AutoSelect = false; // Disables automatic value selection
  // Assigns the created repository item to two existing unbound currency editors
  cxCurrencyEdit1->RepositoryItem = ACurrencyRepositoryItem;
  cxCurrencyEdit2->RepositoryItem = ACurrencyRepositoryItem;

Currency Editor Repository Item Deletion

To delete all currency editor repository items in a TcxEditRepository component, call its RemoveItems procedure and pass a reference to the TcxEditRepositoryCurrencyItem class as a parameter.

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