How to customize the tab name of the ColorUIControl cell dropdown in WinForms GridControl?
Customize the colorui control
In order to have customized control in a grid cell, a custom cell model and cell renderer are needed. There are built-in model/renderers inside the source library. These models/renderers can be used as base classes for those customized model/renderer. Here, the customizing control is a dropdown control. So the custom classes can be derived from GridDropDownCellModel and GridDropDownCellRenderer built-in classes.
The ColorUIGroups tab name can be changed in the InitializeDropDownContainer method.
protected /*internal*/ override void InitializeDropDownContainer()
{
base.InitializeDropDownContainer();
colorUI = new ColorUIControl();
colorUI.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
colorUI.Visible = true;
colorUI.ColorSelected += new EventHandler(ColorUIColorSelected);
this.colorUI.ColorGroups = ((Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.ColorUIGroups)((Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.ColorUIGroups.StandardColors)));
//Color tab name has changed
colorUI.StandardTabName = "TEST";
this.DropDownContainer.Controls.Add(colorUI);
}Protected Overrides Sub InitializeDropDownContainer() 'internal
MyBase.InitializeDropDownContainer()
colorUI = New ColorUIControl()
colorUI.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
colorUI.Visible = True
AddHandler colorUI.ColorSelected, AddressOf ColorUIColorSelected
Me.colorUI.ColorGroups = (CType((Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.ColorUIGroups.StandardColors), Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.ColorUIGroups))
‘Color tab name has changed
colorUI.StandardTabName = "TEST"
Me.DropDownContainer.Controls.Add(colorUI)
