The CheckEditor does not seem to be editable event though all the other string values are editable.  What needs to happen to make this editor interact correctly?

I took a quick look at the code and this is a bug; when the determination is made as to whether a cell can enter edit mode, the column's editor is evaluated for whether it supports the data type, but not the cell's editor. This will be fixed in a future release, but you should report it if you want to receive a notification when the fix becomes available.

Brian,

You are killing me here, man :)  You answered only about 10% of my post:

Ok, there is a bug, is the bug the CheckEditor, the UltraWinTree, or somewhere else?

Generally speaking is my approach correct in trying to implement custom editors per cell, or is there a more ideal way of doing it?

What about the second part of my question:

"This is only a step in understanding how I can implement a custom editor for a property, along the lines of Microsoft's UITypeEditor.  We discussed this a bit in this thread, but I think it was a bit too early in my knowledge of the TreeControl. I don't understand how to connect the UltraTextEditor/EditorWithText to display my custom dialog.  I am assuming/hoping that this will continue to be done via Attribute-oriented programming."

------------------------------------------------

I just had a though, are the rules of this forum that you are only aloud to answer one question per thread?  Maybe I need to turn this into different posts to get all the questions answered.  What I am finding very frustrated is that what should only take me a day to do is turning into a two week process because often only a very small aspect of my question is answered so I have to come back and ask again and again.

If I am doing something wrong that I can change to make this all go smoother, please let me know.  There is NOTHING you could say that would insult me or bother me, I simply want to figure out how to make this whole process a bit smoother.  I was hoping that providing code sample would help, but I guess not.

The bug is in the UltraTree control. If you want to receive a notification when it is fixed, log an incident with Developer Support.

Assign an UltraTextEditor to the column's EditorControl property, add an EditorButton to the control's ButtonsRight collection, handle the UltraTextEditor's EditorButtonClick event, add your show dialog code in the event handler:

UltraTextEditor textEditor = new UltraTextEditor();
EditorButton button = new EditorButton();
button.Text = "...";
textEditor.ButtonsRight.Add( button );
textEditor.EditorButtonClick += new EditorButtonEventHandler(textEditor_EditorButtonClick);

colValue.EditorControl = textEditor;

void textEditor_EditorButtonClick(object sender, EditorButtonEventArgs e)
{
    UltraTreeNodeCellUIElement cellElement = e.Context as UltraTreeNodeCellUIElement;
    UltraTreeNodeColumn column = cellElement.Column;
    UltraTreeNode node = cellElement.Node;

    //TODO: Show dialog here
}

This is the part that leads me to believe that you are expecting to be able to utilize the UITypeEditors (that the .NET PropertyGrid makes use of) in the UltraTree PropertyGrid sample. You can't, which is what I was trying to emphasize in the other thread.

In this thread and the other one I was not and am still not 100% certain about exactly what your objective is. If your question is simply, "how to I show a button with an ellipsis within a cell and show a dialog when that button is clicked", then hopefully I answered your question with the code example listed above, and I humbly apologize for missing that point earlier. If your question is "How do I configure an UltraTree to emulate the .NET PropertyGrid is all respects", then the answer is, you can't, because UITypeEditors do not necessarily make themselves available as public classes. If it is something else, please repost and we will try to help.
