Implements

Examples

The following code example uses the BeginEdit method to test if editing is possible before changing a specified column and row.

private:
   void EditGrid( DataGrid^ dataGrid1 )
   {
      // Get the selected row and column through the CurrentCell.
      int colNum;
      int rowNum;
      colNum = dataGrid1->CurrentCell.ColumnNumber;
      rowNum = dataGrid1->CurrentCell.RowNumber;
      // Get the selected DataGridColumnStyle.
      DataGridColumnStyle^ dgCol;
      dgCol = dataGrid1->TableStyles[ 0 ]->GridColumnStyles[ colNum ];
      // Invoke the BeginEdit method to see if editing can begin.
      if ( dataGrid1->BeginEdit( dgCol, rowNum ) )
      {
         // Edit row value. Get the DataTable and selected row.
         DataTable^ myTable;
         DataRow^ myRow;
         // Assuming the DataGrid is bound to a DataTable.
         myTable = (DataTable^)(dataGrid1->DataSource);
         myRow = myTable->Rows[ rowNum ];
         // Invoke the Row object's BeginEdit method.
         myRow->BeginEdit();
         myRow[ colNum ] = "New Value";
         // You must accept changes on both DataRow and DataTable.
         myRow->AcceptChanges();
         myTable->AcceptChanges();
         dataGrid1->EndEdit( dgCol, rowNum, false );
      }
      else
      {
         Console::WriteLine( "BeginEdit failed" );
      }
   }

private void EditGrid(DataGrid dataGrid1){
    // Get the selected row and column through the CurrentCell.
    int colNum;
    int rowNum;
    colNum = dataGrid1.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber;
    rowNum = dataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber;
    // Get the selected DataGridColumnStyle.
    DataGridColumnStyle dgCol;
    dgCol = dataGrid1.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[colNum];
    // Invoke the BeginEdit method to see if editing can begin.
    if (dataGrid1.BeginEdit(dgCol, rowNum)){
       // Edit row value. Get the DataTable and selected row.
       DataTable myTable;
       DataRow myRow;
       // Assuming the DataGrid is bound to a DataTable.
       myTable = (DataTable) dataGrid1.DataSource;
       myRow = myTable.Rows[rowNum];
       // Invoke the Row object's BeginEdit method.
       myRow.BeginEdit();
       myRow[colNum] = "New Value";
       // You must accept changes on both DataRow and DataTable.
       myRow.AcceptChanges();
       myTable.AcceptChanges();
       dataGrid1.EndEdit(dgCol, rowNum, false);
    }
    else{
      Console.WriteLine("BeginEdit failed");
    }
 }

Private Sub EditGrid(dataGrid1 As DataGrid)
    ' Get the selected row and column through the CurrentCell.
    Dim colNum As Integer
    Dim rowNum As Integer
    colNum = dataGrid1.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber
    rowNum = dataGrid1.CurrentCell.RowNumber
    ' Get the selected DataGridColumnStyle.
    Dim dgCol As DataGridColumnStyle
    dgCol = dataGrid1.TableStyles(0).GridColumnStyles(colNum)
    ' Invoke the BeginEdit method to see if editing can begin.
    If dataGrid1.BeginEdit(dgCol, rowNum) Then
        ' Edit row value. Get the DataTable and selected row.
        Dim myTable As DataTable
        Dim myRow As DataRow
        ' Assuming the DataGrid is bound to a DataTable.
        myTable = CType(dataGrid1.DataSource, DataTable)
        myRow = myTable.Rows(rowNum)
        ' Invoke the Row object's BeginEdit method.
        myRow.BeginEdit()
        myRow(colNum) = "New Value"
        ' You must accept changes on both DataRow and DataTable.
        myRow.AcceptChanges()
        myTable.AcceptChanges()
        dataGrid1.EndEdit(dgCol, rowNum, False)
    Else
        Console.WriteLine("BeginEdit failed")
    End If
End Sub

Remarks

The grid will deny edit requests if the user already started typing into a cell. In that case, the BeginEdit method will return false.
