Conditional Data Entry :

Along with defined data types and data masks, ctxGrid contains a variety of options to make sure that data entered into the grid is being entered correctly. Some of these features include...
 
 
  • Data Validation : A ResetEdit method to prevent the edit window from moving to a new cell (possibly because of invalid data being entered into the current cell).

  • Moving To A New Cell : The ResetEdit method allows the developer to move focus to any other cell after the current cell has been edited. It can be used to override the default behavior.

  • Read-Only Status : Cells can be set up to be read-only. The read-only status can be changed at any time through code (i.e. the status is not permanent).

  • Cancel Edit : This method stops all editing features.

  • Starting the Edit Procedure at a Given Cell : By default, all edit operations start at the first available cell of the selected item.  This functionality can be overridden through a function call.

  • Preventing Key Strokes : This option allows us to set up situations where a cell will only accept certain keys (i.e. 1-4, a-c, etc).
