Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

C#

public event CellEditorValueChangingEventHandler CellEditorValueChanging

VB.NET

Public Event CellEditorValueChanging As CellEditorValueChangingEventHandler

Event Data

The CellEditorValueChanging event's data class is CellEditorValueChangingEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Cancel	Gets or sets whether the CellEditorValueChanging event is canceled.
Cell	Gets a processed cell. Inherited from CellValueEventArgs.
Column	Gets a column that contains the edited cell. Inherited from CellValueEventArgs.
Handled	Gets or sets a value that indicates the present state of the event handling for a routed event as it travels the route. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
OldValue	Gets the cell’s previous value. Inherited from CellValueChangedEventArgs.
OriginalSource	Gets the original reporting source as determined by pure hit testing, before any possible Source adjustment by a parent class. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
RoutedEvent	Gets or sets the RoutedEvent associated with this RoutedEventArgs instance. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
Row	Gets the processed row. Inherited from RowEventArgs.
RowHandle	Gets the processed row’s handle. Inherited from RowEventArgs.
Source	Gets or sets a reference to the object that raised the event. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
Value	Gets or sets the processed cell’s value. Inherited from CellValueEventArgs.

The event data class exposes the following methods:

Method	Description
InvokeEventHandler(Delegate, Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a way to invoke event handlers in a type-specific way, which can increase efficiency over the base implementation. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.
OnSetSource(Object)	When overridden in a derived class, provides a notification callback entry point whenever the value of the Source property of an instance changes. Inherited from RoutedEventArgs.

Remarks

The CellEditorValueChanging event is raised only when a user modifies a cell value using an in-place editor (a user types or deletes a character, chooses a value from a drop-down list, etc.). You cannot raise the event in code.

To restore the previous cell editor value (and prevent the CellValueChanging event from occurring), set the Cancel property to true.

Example

The following example prompts a user before changing a cell value (if the action is canceled, the cell value remains unchanged):

    }
