GridView.GetRowCellValue(Int32, String) Method

Returns the value of the specified cell, which is identified by the row handle and field name in the grid’s data source.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Grid

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraGrid.v19.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public override object GetRowCellValue(
    int rowHandle,
    string fieldName
)

VB.NET

Public Overrides Function GetRowCellValue(
    rowHandle As Integer,
    fieldName As String
) As Object

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
rowHandle	Int32	An integer value representing the handle of the row in which the desired cell resides.
fieldName	String	A string representing the field name whose value is to be returned. This parameter can refer to any field in the data source, even if the current View does not contain a GridColumn referring to this field.

Returns

Type	Description
Object	An object that is the specified cell’s value. If the required value is not found in the data source (e.g., if the specified field name does not exist), the method returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic). In Instant Feedback Mode, an invalid “Non-loaded Value” is immediately returned if the requested cell is not currently loaded.

Remarks

This method overrides the ColumnView.GetRowCellValue method to retrieve requested values for the auto filter row.

For more information, see ColumnView.GetRowCellValue.

Note

In Instant Feedback Mode, this GetRowCellValue method has limitations. It returns a correct value only if the target row has been loaded. Otherwise, it returns a “Non-loaded Value”. You can check to see whether or not the returned value is the “Non-loaded Value” by calling the static BaseEdit.IsNotLoadedValue method.

If you require this value right away (e.g., on a Custom Draw event), skip this value by adding a code, similar to the following:

C#

private void gridView1_CustomDrawGroupRow(object sender, DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.RowObjectCustomDrawEventArgs e) {
    GridView view = sender as GridView;
    int index = view.GetDataRowHandleByGroupRowHandle(e.RowHandle);
    var cellValue = view.GetRowCellValue(index, "Mode");
    if (BaseEdit.IsNotLoadedValue(cellValue)) {
        ((GridGroupRowInfo)e.Info).GroupText = "Loading...";
    }
    else {
        int mode = (int)cellValue;
        ((GridGroupRowInfo)e.Info).GroupText += "custom " + mode;
    }
}

VB.NET

Private Sub gridView1_CustomDrawGroupRow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.RowObjectCustomDrawEventArgs)
    Dim view As GridView = TryCast(sender, GridView)
    Dim index As Integer = view.GetDataRowHandleByGroupRowHandle(e.RowHandle)
    Dim cellValue = view.GetRowCellValue(index, "Mode")
    If BaseEdit.IsNotLoadedValue(cellValue) Then
        CType(e.Info, GridGroupRowInfo).GroupText = "Loading..."
    Else
        Dim mode As Integer = CInt(Math.Truncate(cellValue))
        CType(e.Info, GridGroupRowInfo).GroupText &= "custom " & mode
    End If
End Sub

Note

Detail pattern Views do not contain data and they are never displayed within XtraGrid. So, the GetRowCellValue member must not be invoked for these Views. The GetRowCellValue 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 code sample below iterates through grid records and reduces the “Price” column values by 10 percent.

C#

private void UpdatePrice(DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.ColumnView View) {
   // Obtain the Price column. 
   DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn col = View.Columns.ColumnByFieldName("Price");
   if (col == null) return;
   View.BeginSort();
   try {
      // Obtain the number of data rows. 
      int dataRowCount = View.DataRowCount;
      // Traverse data rows and change the Price field values. 
      for (int i = 0; i < dataRowCount; i++) {
         object cellValue = View.GetRowCellValue(i, col);
         double newValue = Convert.ToDouble(cellValue) * 0.9;
         View.SetRowCellValue(i, col, newValue);
      }
   } finally { View.EndSort(); }
}

VB.NET

Private Sub UpdatePrice(ByVal View As DevExpress.XtraGrid.Views.Base.ColumnView)
   ' Obtain the Price column. 
   Dim Col As DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn = View.Columns.ColumnByFieldName("Price")
   If Col Is Nothing Then Exit Sub 
   View.BeginSort()
   Try 
      ' Obtain the number of data rows. 
      Dim DataRowCount As Integer = View.DataRowCount
      ' Traverse data rows and change the Price field values. 
      Dim I As Integer 
      For I = 0 To DataRowCount - 1
         Dim CellValue As Object = View.GetRowCellValue(I, Col)
         Dim NewValue As Double = Convert.ToDouble(CellValue) * 0.9
         View.SetRowCellValue(I, Col, NewValue)
      Next 
   Finally 
      View.EndSort()
   End Try 
End Sub
