Hello,

 I need to validate a cell data in an UltraGrid and return a message to the user and allow him to enter the correct data after the message. My scenario:

- I have an UltraGrid with a fixed column and many dynamic columns after it. The datasource is passed in run-time because of the dynamic columns;

- The fixed column of the grid has a ValueList pointing to an UltraDropDown. This dropdown has an integer value (hidden) as value and a string as display element (not hidden).

- I am validating the data the user enter for that column throught the AfterCellUpdate based on a list of values. Sample code:

private void myGrid_AfterCellUpdate(object sender, CellEventArgs e)

{

   if (Convert.ToInt32(e.Cell.Value) != Convert.ToInt32(myList[index])

   {

      // Send message to the user

   }

}

The problem is that I need to keep focus on the column the user is updating. But when I enter the data, validate and see the error message the system is changing to the next column and not keeping focus on the column that I am validating.

Has anyone ever had to do a validation like this and keep the focus on the same column that is being validated instead of setting focus on the next column?

What I need is to use something like the CellDataError event, but I cannot raise this event inside the other. Or maybe if there was a mean to invalidate the column data somehow and then the grid will raise CellDataError.

Well I'm new to Infragistics and would appreciate any help you can provide.
