How call words Insert -> Symbol dialog box from win grid

Amit Ranjan posted over 14 years ago

It is desired to use the Symbols in Microsoft to display data in a graphical format within an Infragistics Grid. For example : In MS Office products like Excel and Word the User can select from the Ribbon toolbar Insert | Symbol and a dialog pops up. The user selects the desired font and then chooses a Symbol. Once the symbol is inserted into a word or excel document the user can adjust the font size and color. Similarly, It is desired to be able to use these symbols within an Infragistics Grid to obtain a result similar to the following to easily see late or on time activities.

There's no functionality like this built-in to the grid.I'm not sure where these symbols come from. Do they exist as normal characters or are they perhaps using Wingdings or some other special font?

If they are part of every font, then this would be a simply matter of creating the dialog and adding that character into the text of the cell.

If they come from a special font, then you would have to change the Style of the cell to FormattedText so that you could insert a font tag and specify a font for a character or range of characters.

I don't think there are any events that fire when you click on an item in the list specifically. But I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want to do.

Maybe you can use the CellListCloseUp event on the grid? This event will fire when the list closes for whatever reason.
