CardView.IsEditing Property

Gets a value indicating whether a cell editor is presently active.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Card

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.1.dll

Declaration

C#

[Browsable(false)]
public override bool IsEditing { get; }

VB.NET

<Browsable(False)>
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property IsEditing As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Description
Boolean	true if the View is in edit mode; otherwise, false.

Remarks

This property returns true if the CardView.State property value is CardState.Editing. In other instances, this property returns false.

You can also compare the View’s ColumnView.ActiveEditor property to null to determine whether a cell editor is presently active.

Note

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

• GridControl.MainView - returns the top most View in a grid;
• GridControl.FocusedView - returns the focused View;
• GridControl.DefaultView - returns the currently maximized View;
• the sender parameter of View specific events;
• GridView.GetDetailView - returns a detail clone View for a specific master row.

Example

The following code shows how you can obtain the text representation of the currently edited cell value.

C#

using DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base;

ColumnView view = gridControl1.FocusedView as ColumnView;
string editingValue = null;
if (view != null && view.IsEditing)
    editingValue = view.EditingValue.ToString();

VB.NET

Imports DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base

Dim view As ColumnView = CType(GridControl1.FocusedView, ColumnView)
Dim editingValue As String = Nothing
If view IsNot Nothing And view.IsEditing Then
    editingValue = view.EditingValue.ToString()
End If
