GetEditorControl Method (IEditor)

Gets the control associated with the editor.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Function GetEditorControl( _
   ByVal appearance As Appearance, _
   ByVal zoomFactor As Single _
) As Control

'Usage
 
Dim instance As IEditor
Dim appearance As Appearance
Dim zoomFactor As Single
Dim value As Control
 
value = instance.GetEditorControl(appearance, zoomFactor)

Control GetEditorControl( 
   Appearance appearance,
   float zoomFactor
)

Parameters

appearance: Appearance settings of the editor control
zoomFactor: Numeric value for scaling the display of the editor control

Return Value

Control object containing editor control being created

Remarks

The Spread component always positions the editor control returned by the GetEditorControl method so that the editor control covers the entire cell.

For limits on the zoomFactor parameter, refer to the ZoomFactor property for the sheet.

Example

This example subclasses the IEditor class and uses a CheckBox as the cell editor to illustrate the use of the methods and events.

public static CheckBox ck = new CheckBox();

class myEditor : FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.IEditor
{
     public event EventHandler EditingCanceled;
     public event EventHandler EditingStopped;
     public bool StopEditing()
     {
          if (EditingStopped != null)
          {
               EditingStopped(ck, EventArgs.Empty);
               base.FireEditingStopped();
               return true;
          }
          else
          {
               return false;
          }
     }

     public void CancelEditing()
     {
          EditingCanceled(ck, EventArgs.Empty);
          base.FireEditingCanceled();
     }
     
     public bool IsReservedKey(KeyEventArgs e)
     {
          return false;
     }
          
     public bool IsValid(Object value)
     {
          return true;
     }
     
     public Size GetPreferredSize(System.Windows.Forms.Control editor)
     {
          return editor.Size;
     }

     public Cursor GetReservedCursor(object o)
     {
          return null;
     }

     public Control GetEditorControl(FarPoint.Win.Spread.Appearance appr, float zoom)
     {
          return ck;
     }

     public object GetEditorValue()
     {
          return ck.CheckState;
     }

     public void SetEditorValue(object value)
     {
     }

     public object IsReservedLocation(Graphics g, int x, int y, Rectangle r, FarPoint.Win.Spread.Appearance appr, object value,
float zoom)
     {
          return null;
     }

     public void StartEditing(EventArgs e, bool selectAll)
     {
          selectAll = true;
     }

     public void ShowSubEditor()
     {
     this.ShowSubEditor();
     }
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
     fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].Editor = new myEditor();
}
