Hi,
I have a bound grid. Some columns are of type string. If I enter in such a cell a special character like & " < the Text property contains the string as displayed. However the Value property converts the special characters to & " and the like. Is there an easy way to omit this conversion? I want to have the value of the Value property to be the same as the entered string.
Thanks,
Bettina
Hello Bettina,
Do you have any editor set as an EditorComponent of the column? I tried this scenario and these characters show in the value as they are in the Text property. Could you please let me know of the WinGrid/Column settings or provide a sample project which reproduces this behavior, I will be happy to assist you further on that matter.
Hi Boris,
Thanks for your reply. Here is a code snippet:
public static UltraFormattedTextEditor BuildTextEditor() { return new UltraFormattedTextEditor { ScrollBarDisplayStyle = ScrollBarDisplayStyle.Never }; }
this is used like this for every string column:
column.EditorComponent = this.TextEditor; column.UseEditorMaskSettings = true;
Hope this enables you to reproduce the problem
Thanks
