2.3 Predefined Controls

Objective Grid for Microsoft .NET includes a number of pre-defined controls that can be inserted into grid cells. These controls are used in a cell by setting a property in the cell's style. The ControlType enumeration contains identifiers for all of the pre-defined controls available for use, and the Control property of the Style class inserts a custom control into a cell.

The following code snippets show how to insert a drop-down control into a grid cell. The drop-down control contains the items "Rogue", "Wave", and "Stingray".

C#:

Style style = new Style();
style.Control = Stingray.Grid.ControlType.DropDown;
style.ChoiceList = "Rogue\nWave\nStingray";
gridControl1[1,1].Style = style;

Visual Basic:

Dim style As New Style()
style.Control = Stingray.Grid.ControlType.DropDown
Dim str As New System.Text.StringBuilder()
str.Append("Rogue")
str.Append(Chr(10))
str.Append("Wave")
str.Append(Chr(10))
str.Append("Stingray")
str.Append(Chr(10))
style.ChoiceList = str.ToString()
GridControl1(1, 1).Style = style

Table 16 lists the custom controls available in Objective Grid for Microsoft .NET, and their corresponding ControlType enumerations.
