#Declaration

public object GetFocusedRowCellValue(
    string fieldName
)

An object representing the cell’s value.

#Remarks

If a group row is focused this method returns null.

The currently focused row is determined by the ColumnView.FocusedRowHandle property.

To get the edit value within the currently focused cell, the ColumnView.GetFocusedValue method can be used. The ColumnView.GetRowCellValue method can be used to get the values of any column in any row.

The following methods can be used to get the displayed values of specific cells: ColumnView.GetFocusedDisplayText, ColumnView.GetFocusedRowCellDisplayText and ColumnView.GetRowCellDisplayText.

Note

Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the GetFocusedRowCellValue member must not be invoked for these Views. The GetFocusedRowCellValue member can only be used with Views that display real data within the Grid Control. Use the following methods to access these Views with which an end user interacts at runtime.

The following code snippets (auto-collected from DevExpress Examples) contain references to the GetFocusedRowCellValue(String) method.
