Remarks

The ShowingEditor event is raised before a cell editor is activated, and allows you to cancel the operation. To do this, set the event parameter’s CancelPivotCellEditEventArgs.Cancel property to true.

After the editor has been invoked, the PivotGridControl.ShownEditor event fires.

Use the following event parameter’s properties to identify the cell where the editor is about to be invoked:

Example

The following code shows how to disable data editing for total cells. This is accomplished by handling the PivotGridControl.ShowingEditor event. When handling this event, the type of the current cell can be identified via the PivotCellEventArgsBase<TField, TData, TCustomTotal>.ColumnValueType and PivotCellEventArgsBase<TField, TData, TCustomTotal>.RowValueType parameters.

using DevExpress.XtraPivotGrid;

private void pivotGridControl1_ShowingEditor(object sender, CancelPivotCellEditEventArgs e) {
    if (e.RowValueType != PivotGridValueType.Value || e.ColumnValueType != PivotGridValueType.Value)
        e.Cancel = true;
}
