Invalid value in cell. How to avoid error dialogbox "Value in the editor is not valid"
posted

I have a grid in which certain columns/cells have a MaskInput and Format. For example:

column.Format = "dd/MM/yyyy";
column.MaskInput = "dd/mm/yyyy";

This all works fine as long as the entered data can be converted to the column DataType (in this case obviously DateTime). But if the user accidently enters __/__/2008 the conversion fails and a popup is shown with following error message:

Unable to update the data value: Value in the editor is not valid.

Is it possible to supress the error dialogbox? I don't want it to show. I would prefer the grid discards the invalid entered info (and reverts to the old value) or enters a default value.
