PivotGridControl.CustomCellEditForEditing Event

Allows you to assign a custom editor to a cell for in-place editing, and override the default cell editor, which is used in both display and edit modes, by default. To avoid performance issues and increased memory consumption, assign repository items that already exist in the PivotGridControl.RepositoryItems collection. Do not create new repository items in this handler.

Remarks

You can assign an in-place editor to a cell via the PivotGridField.FieldEdit property, or to an individual cell via the PivotGridControl.CustomCellEdit event. This editor will be used to represent a cell’s contents in display mode (when the cell isn’t currently edited), and by default, in edit mode. If you need to provide different editors to represent a cell’s contents differently in display and edit modes, handle the CustomCellEditForEditing event.

To assign an editor to a cell for in-place editing while handling the CustomCellEditForEditing event, assign a corresponding repository item to the event’s RepositoryItem parameter. Note that the repository item must be added to the control’s DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid.PivotGridControl.RepositoryItems collection.

Example

This example shows how to change the editor type when the editor is in “edit” mode.

The RepositoryItemProgressBar in-place editor (repository item) displays values of the “Quantity %” field as progress bars. In “edit” mode, the PivotGridControl.CustomCellEditForEditing event is raised to change this repository item to RepositoryItemTextEdit.
