Edit a cell's value somewhere?
posted

In Excel, if we click on a cell, the cell is select, but the cell doesn't enter the edit mode,

we can see the cell's value appears on the top of the sheet's header(the control looks like a Textbox,

now i just consider it as a Textbox), then we can edit the value here. The effect is the same as we directly

edit the cell by double clicking the cell.

Does the WinGrid also provide such a Textbox on the top of the header let us edit the cell's value

in such a way?

here is a demo picture about this solution

Thanks

    There is nothing built into the grid that would allow this.  You could certainly bind an external editor to the ActiveCell of the grid, such as:

    private void ultraGrid1_AfterCellActivate(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.textBox1.DataBindings.Clear();

        UltraGridCell cell = this.ultraGrid1.ActiveCell;
        if (cell == null)
            this.textBox1.ReadOnly = true;            
        else
        {
            this.textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", this.ultraGrid1.DataSource, cell.Column.Key);
            this.textBox1.ReadOnly = false;
        }
    }

    You would also want to set the grid.DisplayLayout.Override.CellClickAction to CellSelect, and also set the AllowUpdate to False if you want to exclusively provide editing through the external control.
