Show Formatting characters in Grid cells?
posted

Pardon if this has been asked, but in searching I could not find what I was looking for.

I have a WinGrid displaying XML fragments stored in our database.  I would like to be able to show/edit the text in the cells in a similar fashion to the way MS Word displays formatting characters when you click on the paragraph symbol at the top of their editor.  The main character I need to see is some sort of gray "dot" for a space character, altho there may be need for others down the road.

Can someone please point me in the right direction for this?  I was hoping for some sort of setting, but I may need a little more expertise with the MaskedEditor fields or format fields. 


Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Dan

    Hi Dan,

    There's nothing built-in to the grid, the masked editor, or even the FormattedTextEditor for this. You would have to implement it yourself.

    I can't think of any easy way to do this.
