I have bound myUltraWingrid to a an List object. One of the attributes of the object is of type Boolean. The grid automatically displays a check box for Boolean type attributes. I have a requirement where i have to display a Y or N in the boolean type column when that particular column has no focus and displays a check box as soon as the boolean type column gets focus.
Is there any means by which i can achieve this functionality in Ultrawingrid ?
Please let m know.
There's no easy built-in way to do this, but it can be done.
There are a number of ways you could go about it. I would probably use a CreationFilter. If you've never used one before, these can be a bit daunting, but they are very powerful and worth learning. I recommend checking out the Infragistics Knowledge Base for articles and samples using CreationFilters. Also, get the Infragistics UIElementViewer Utility.
If you don't want to use a CreationFilter, then another option might be to simply use images. If you are using the newly-released version v8.2 of the controls,then you could use the GlyphInfo on an UltraCheckEditor to make the Checked and Unchecked states of the checkboxes appear with letters (using an image of the letter), then change the GlyphInfo for the ActiveCell.
Neither of these would be trivial to implement, though.
