Hi,
We want to provide a custom representation for a particular column.Our real life case is much more complicated than that, but we are giving a simplified scenario here.
The underlying DataTable is shared by various controls.Column A contains values. We do not want to just display those values in the cell.We want to perform some custom lookup operation and build a string representation for that value.
What Event or Method can we listen to/call to set the displayed value (withouth changing the underlying data value)?
We looked around, but for a cell, the Text value is read-only and the Value property updates the underlying data.
I believe most controls have a Parse/Format method/event that allows for those things. I just can't seem to find it in the IG doc.
Regards,
Eric.
Eric,
You'll probably want to look into using a DataFilter, which will let you show whatever you want for a particular value. This KB Article will give you a basic overview of using the DataFilter to converting your data.
