Change grid editor dynamically & how to apply custom formatter

[awisey]

Hi Scott,

I have a couple of things i cant seem to figure out?

1. Do you have any sample code on how to change a column on a row from read only to editable? For example if one column is a checkbox and the others initially are read only then when the checkbox in checked to be able which of the readonly become editable? I see the how to define columns in the view but cant figure out to make it dynamic.

2. I see you have a formatter option on the xrmcloumn types. How do you apply a custom formatter to a column?

Kinds regards
Andrew

1: You need to add some pre-edit logic to check if the field is editable or not. This is done using the OnBeforeEditCell event. For an example see -

SparkleXrm/SparkleXrmSource/Client/TimeSheet/View/TimeSheetView.cs

Line 251 in ebd4a35

sessionsGrid.OnBeforeEditCell.Subscribe(delegate(EventData e, object args)

I would call a function such as CanEdit on the ViewModel from this event.

2: For an example of a custom column formatter see the MultiEntitySearch sample card column formatter -

SparkleXrm/SparkleXrmSamples/MultiEntitySearch/ClientUI/Views/MultiSearchView2013.cs

Line 45 in ebd4a35

cardColumn[0].Formatter = RenderCardColumnCell;

Hope this helps!
