Set editable range by handling event

Many before-event provided by ReoGrid have the property IsCancelled, which can be set as true to notify Control to cancel the following operations. It typically to be used to prevent the cell-edit or outline-collapse/expand operations.

For example, to only allow the text editing inside specified range:

// select a worksheet
var sheet = grid.CurrentWorksheet;

// create a range define
var editableRange = new RangePosition(3,1,2,3);

// set borders to range
sheet.SetRangeBorder(editableRange, BorderPositions.Outside, RangeBorderStyle.BlackSolid);

// set text and handle events
sheet[2, 1] = "Edit only be allowed in this range:";
sheet.BeforeCellEdit += (s, e) => e.IsCancelled = !editableRange.Contains(e.Cell.GetPos());

    Do you have an event “after column resize”?

    • Jing says:

      Current there is no event for columns and rows resizing. But it is able to use ActionPerformed event to monitor all actions from end-user. When end-user changes the column width an instance of SetColumnsWidthAction class will be passed to the handler of ActionPerformed event.

  2. damien says:

    Do you have an event “cell selected”?

    • Jing says:

      You could check the SelectionRangeChanged or FocusPosChanged event.

      • damien says:

        sorry I do not know how to setup to get the range event (grid event is OK). Do you have an example?

        • damien says:

          I do not have all the events, for example CellMouseDown. Is it due to the fact I have the 8.8 version?

          • Jing says:

            There is no 8.8 version. Right click on ReoGrid.dll and select “Properties” to check what version you are using. Some events actually not available in old versions.

          • damien says:

            0.8.8.4 Version
            no cell events if I look at the properties of the grid

          • Jing says:

            CellMouseDown event is worksheet event so you may need to get an instance of worksheet by using like reoGridControl.CurrentWorksheet method firstly.

            Sorry for a long thread comment but post questions in http://forum.reogrid.net will be helpful.

    there is one big issue that I have been struggling with for the past 5 days.
    I want to update both formula and data at the same time, but whenever I update one an event is raised to erase the other one.
    I cannot have both formula and data assigned to a cell which is a big BUG.

  4. Saleh says:

    Thanks for the whole API, but there is one major event is missing which is AfterRangeKeyDown if it can be added it would be great and cause me less headache.

    Hello Jing

    Do you have an event “after a filter action”?

  6. zzy says:

    How can I cancel the copy made by draging the lower right conor of the selection range? I tried brforeRangeCopy event and it does not fire.
    And how to cancel or monitor the data deleted by pressing delete key on the keyboard?
