I'm using a UltraGrid that is bound to a object data source. The objects in the datasource implement IDataErrorInfo and when an object has an error it shows up in the grid cell and that all works fine.
However, the grid also has some unbound columns. When the value of one of the cells in an unbound column is invalid (it's negative for example) I would like the grid to detect it make the cell to look the same as a cell in a bould column in an error state.
The grid is using a style file.
There's no support for showing data errors in unbound columns.You could display an image in the cell, of course, using the cell's Appearance.
Or you could add the fields you need to your data object.
Either way, I recommend that you Submit a feature request to Infragistics
Thanks for your quick response Mike. I submitted a feature request.
One of the features of our app is to have a dialog that lets the user insert unbound columns into a bound grid at run time. This makes it difficult to have corresponding columns in the data object. Also, the data in the unbound columns is saved to a different table than the table the grid is bound to.
Do you know where the IDataErrorInfo appearace definition is for the grid so I can take that appearance and apply it to the unbound grid cell's appearance in the grid's AfterCellUpdate event?
