I would like to get the current Text entered in a Grid cell when the Editor's IsValid property is returning False.
I am inheriting the UltraTextEditor and I want to retrieve the current text entered during Edit mode from the Editor. I am using the current code to shadow the Text property so that if an Editor is passed in then rather than retrieving the Text property from the base UltraTextEditor, I want to get the current value from pvEditor. If pvEditor.IsValid is returning False then the exception is thrown telling me I cannot get Value. Is there a way to get the text that is causing the IsValid to fail? I can get TextLength, but no string :o(
Private Shadows Property Text(ByVal pvEditor As Infragistics.Win.EmbeddableEditorBase) As String
Get
Dim currentText As String = MyBase.Text
' If this control is used as an Editor, then it means the Text property
' is not set.
If pvEditor IsNot Nothing _
AndAlso pvEditor.IsValid Then
currentText = CStr(pvEditor.Value)
End If
Return currentText
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
MyBase.Text = value
' is not used.
If pvEditor IsNot Nothing Then
pvEditor.Value = value
End Set
End Property
When an editor's IsValid property returns false, you can use the EmbeddableEditorBase.CurrentEditText property to get the value.
Fantastic! I feel so stupid for not spotting that property!
