Hi Mike,

Please have a look @ the follwing example for the unbound / bound column issue.

1) Put the ultragrid on the form in windows application

2) Use following code in Formload or any button click vent handler

////Create the data table

DataTable table = new DataTable();

table.Columns.Add("Bound", typeof(double)); // type double

"Dummy2", typeof(int));  // type int

if (!ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns.Exists("UnBound"))

{

"UnBound"); // Adding unbound column

"nnnn";

ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[0].MaskInput = "nnnn.nn";//bound column

ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].Columns[2].MaskInput = "nnnn.nn";//Unbound column

Bound         Dummy2          Unbound

2345.67        1234               1234.50

Now that is what decribes the problem with bound / unbound columns. Original value is 12345.67, In Bound column it is 2345.67 (Truncating 1 from front) 

but in unbound column, it is 1234.50

Hi Sanjiv,

I don't see how bound or unbound could possibly make any difference. The editor that handles the masking gets the value of the cell from the grid. It does not know or care where the data comes from or whether the field is bound or not.

So there must be some other difference between the columns.

Hi Mike,

Gud to hear from you.

Actually the underlying data type is double. Although the masking is "nnnn".

Actually why I brought up the bound / unbound issue because in bound column, it is trunctaing the

figure from front chopping off the significant digits and in unboud columns it is trunctaing the value

from trailing side that is what required.

In unbound column there is no data type set explicitly may be that is behaving in the right manner.

Regards,

Sanjiv
