GridRowValidationEventArgs Class
Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid
Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v18.2.Core.dll
Declaration
public class GridRowValidationEventArgs :
ValidationEventArgs,
IDataRowEventArgs
Public Class GridRowValidationEventArgs
Inherits ValidationEventArgs
Implements IDataRowEventArgs
Row validation is performed within the GridViewBase.ValidateRow event handler, when a row is about to lose focus. The processed row is returned by the GridRowValidationEventArgs.Row property. Its handle is returned by the GridRowValidationEventArgs.RowHandle property. After cell values have been obtained, you can verify whether the values meet your validity criteria. If the row fails validation, set the event’s ValidationEventArgs.IsValid parameter to false. Otherwise, leave the ValidationEventArgs.IsValid parameter set to true.
To learn more, see Row Validation.
Example
This example shows how to check the validity of data entered by end-users into a data row. The GridViewBase.ValidateRow and GridViewBase.InvalidRowException events are handled to validate the focused row’s data, and if it is invalid, prevent the row focus from being moved to another row until invalid values are corrected.
Since the Task class doesn’t support error notifications, it implements the IDXDataErrorInfo interface, providing two members to get error descriptions for the entire row and for individual cells (data source fields). This displays error icons within cells with invalid values. Pointing to such an error icon displays a tooltip with an error description.
