Show or hide error message


In order to show or hide error messages that are displayed in the GridControl while validating the cell, the ShowErrorMessageBox property can be used. It can also be done using CurrentCellErrorMessage event. In this article, both solutions have been illustrated.

// Specifies the condition.
this.gridControl1.ColStyles[1].CellValueType = typeof(Int32);
 
private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     // Enable or disable the Error message.
     this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.ShowErrorMessageBox = this.checkBox1.Checked;
}

// By handling the CurrentCellErrorMesage event the ErrorMessage box can also be hidden.
this.gridControl1.CurrentCellErrorMessage += new GridCurrentCellErrorMessageEventHandler(gridControl1_CurrentCellErrorMessage);
this.gridControl1.CurrentCellErrorMessage += new GridCurrentCellErrorMessageEventHandler(gridControl1_CurrentCellErrorMessage);
 
void gridControl1_CurrentCellErrorMessage(object sender, GridCurrentCellErrorMessageEventArgs e)
{
    // Hides the error message.
    e.Cancel = true;
}
'Specifies the condition.
Me.gridControl1.ColStyles(1).CellValueType = GetType(Int32)
 
Private Sub checkBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
   ' Enable or disable the Error message.
   Me.gridControl1.CurrentCell.ShowErrorMessageBox = Me.checkBox1.Checked
End Sub
 
'By handling the CurrentCellErrorMesage event the error message box can also be hidden.
AddHandler Me.gridControl1.CurrentCellErrorMessage, AddressOf gridControl1_CurrentCellErrorMessage
 
Private Sub gridControl1_CurrentCellErrorMessage(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridCurrentCellErrorMessageEventArgs)
   'Hides the error message. 
   e.Cancel = True
End Sub

The screenshot below illustrates how to show or hide the error messages.
