Mask for a single cell in datagrid

from:

http://www1.devexpress.com/Support/Center/p/Q130467.aspx

hi,
I am using a datagrid to display values. I have given mask as numeric and edit Mask and UseMaskAsDisplay properties as shown below:

dtvFilteredData.Columns[ "Movement %" ].ColumnEdit = new DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository. RepositoryItemTextEdit ();

((DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository. RepositoryItemTextEdit )dtvFilteredData.Columns[ "Movement %" ].ColumnEdit).Mask.MaskType = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Mask. MaskType .Numeric;

((DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository. RepositoryItemTextEdit )dtvFilteredData.Columns[ "Movement %" ].ColumnEdit).Mask.EditMask = "#,##,##,##,##,##,##,##,##,##,##,##,##,##0.00" ;

((DevExpress.XtraEditors.Repository. RepositoryItemTextEdit )dtvFilteredData.Columns[ "Movement %" ].ColumnEdit).Mask.UseMaskAsDisplayFormat = true ;

But after displaying the values, when i click a particular cell, i want to edit its value. But at this time, the value in that particular cell (And not entire column)must show 6 decuimal places instead of 2 as indicated in the mask. So is it possible to give multiple masks for that column- one for normal mode and one when editing the cell value?

Waiting for your answer..its really urgent...

Thanks,
Regards,
Abi

Hello Abi,

Yes, it's possible to accomplish your task using the GridView.ShownEditor event, for example:

[C#]

private void gridView1_ShownEditor(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            GridView view = sender as GridView;
            if (view.FocusedColumn.FieldName == "Movement %")
            {
                DevExpress.XtraEditors.TextEdit edit = (view.ActiveEditor as
DevExpress.XtraEditors.TextEdit);
                edit.Properties.Mask.MaskType = DevExpress.XtraEditors.Mask.MaskType.Numeric;
                edit.Properties.Mask.EditMask = "n6";
            }
        }

Thank you,
Paul
