Cell editor Events

See Also    Examples    Applies To

Event BeforeCellEditorEnter(fCancel As Boolean)

atb_BeforeCellEditorEnter(fCancel)

Raised before the internal cell editor is launched.

fCancel

True on entry of the event procedure. Set fCancel = False to inhibit the editor.

Event AfterCellEditorExit()

atb_AfterCellEditorExit(fCancel)

Raised after cell editing has been finished.

This happens when you enter a cell in the grid view of the atb control:

• BeforeCellEditorEnter event is fired with fCancel set to False.
• If your code hasn't set fCancel to True, the internal cell editor is launched.

When you leave the cell:

• The internal cell editor is stopped (if it was launched), its content is saved.
• AfterCellEditorExit is fired.

Here are the guidelines to design your own cell editor:

In the BeforeCellEnter event routine:

• Let fCancel be True.
• Set the value of your editor control according to atb.ListValue.
• Dimension your editor control with the cell sizing properties (atb.CellTop etc.).
• Make your editor control visible.
• Set the focus to your editor control.

In the AfterCellEditorExit event routine:

• Store your editor's value to atb.ListValue.
• Hide your editor control.
