#Remarks

The CustomEditValue event occurs for each data cell that has an in-place editor assigned to it. This event raises each time the cell is repainted, allowing you to change its value. To specify a custom cell value, use the event parameter’s CustomEditValueEventArgs.Value property. This property initially contains a summary value calculated for this cell.

To assign an editor to a cell, use the PivotGridField.FieldEdit property, or handle the PivotGridControl.CustomCellEdit event.

Note

Cell values assigned in the CustomEditValue event handler are not posted to a data source. You can handle the PivotGridControl.EditValueChanged event to accomplish this.

Use the following properties to identify the edited cell:

In the following example, the Percents of the Columns field’s cells display the percentage of the column total value. Cell values are in the range from 0 to 1. The progress bar visualizes the percentage value. The CustomEditValue event handler translates the 0 to 1 range values to the 0 to 100 range that is acceptable for the progress bar.

private void pivotGridControl_CustomEditValue(object sender, CustomEditValueEventArgs e) {
    if(e.DataField == fieldPercents)
        // e.Value = 0.1502539532880652 (before)
        e.Value = Convert.ToDouble(e.Value) * 100f;
        // e.Value = 15 (after)
}
