How to display custom error icon in WinForms GridGroupingControl?
Display custom error icon
To draw an
error icon at the left side of the cell text rectangle, use the CustomCellRenderer and CustomCellModel for GridTextBoxCellRenderer and GridTextBoxCellModel respectively. Then,
override the OnDraw method in CustomCellRenderer.
Creating Cell Model
C#
public class CustomCellModel : GridTextBoxCellModel
{
public CustomCellModel(GridModel grid)
: base(grid)
{
}
public override GridCellRendererBase CreateRenderer(GridControlBase control)
{
return new CustomCellRenderer(control, this);
}
}
VB
Public Class CustomCellModel
Inherits GridTextBoxCellModel
Public Sub New(ByVal grid As GridModel)
MyBase.New(grid)
End Sub
Public Overrides Function CreateRenderer(ByVal control As GridControlBase) As GridCellRendererBase
Return New CustomCellRenderer(control, Me)
End Function
End Class
Creating Cell
Renderer
C#
public class CustomCellRenderer : GridTextBoxCellRenderer
{
public CustomCellRenderer(GridControlBase grid, GridCellModelBase cellModel)
: base(grid, cellModel)
{
}
protected override void OnDraw(Graphics g, Rectangle clientRectangle, int rowIndex, int colIndex, GridStyleInfo style)
{
if (this.Grid.CurrentCell.HasCurrentCellAt(rowIndex, colIndex) && this.Grid.CurrentCell.IsEditing
&& !this.Grid.CurrentCell.IsValid)
{
Rectangle rect = clientRectangle;
Bitmap bitmap = SystemIcons.Error.ToBitmap();
rect = GridUtil.CenterInRect(rect, new Size(20, 20));
g.DrawImage(bitmap, new Rectangle(clientRectangle.X, rect.Y, bitmap.Width -10, rect.Height));
base.OnDraw(g, new Rectangle(clientRectangle.X + bitmap.Width, clientRectangle.Y, clientRectangle.Width - bitmap.Width, clientRectangle.Height), rowIndex, colIndex, style);
}
else
base.OnDraw(g, clientRectangle, rowIndex, colIndex, style);
}
}
VB
Public Class CustomCellRenderer
Inherits GridTextBoxCellRenderer
Public Sub New(ByVal grid As GridControlBase, ByVal cellModel As GridCellModelBase)
MyBase.New(grid, cellModel)
End Sub
Protected Overrides Sub OnDraw(ByVal g As Graphics, ByVal clientRectangle As Rectangle, ByVal rowIndex As Integer, ByVal colIndex As Integer, ByVal style As GridStyleInfo)
If Me.Grid.CurrentCell.HasCurrentCellAt(rowIndex, colIndex) AndAlso Me.Grid.CurrentCell.IsEditing AndAlso (Not Me.Grid.CurrentCell.IsValid) Then
Dim rect As Rectangle = clientRectangle
Dim bitmap As Bitmap = SystemIcons.Error.ToBitmap()
rect = GridUtil.CenterInRect(rect, New Size(20, 20))
g.DrawImage(bitmap, New Rectangle(clientRectangle.X, rect.Y, bitmap.Width - 10, rect.Height))
MyBase.OnDraw(g, New Rectangle(clientRectangle.X + bitmap.Width, clientRectangle.Y, clientRectangle.Width - bitmap.Width, clientRectangle.Height), rowIndex, colIndex, style)
Else
MyBase.OnDraw(g, clientRectangle, rowIndex, colIndex, style)
End If
End Sub
End Class
Adding CellModel and
Assigning CellType
C#
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.ShowErrorIcon = false;
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.CellModels.Add("CustomCell", new CustomCellModel(this.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel));
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "CustomCell";
VB
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.ShowErrorIcon = False
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel.CellModels.Add("CustomCell", New CustomCellModel(Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableModel))
Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.Appearance.AnyRecordFieldCell.CellType = "CustomCell"
