Just another way to do it, as I just had the same problem. You can also set the column EditOptions like this:

rcCol.EditOptions.AllowEdit = False

This will also allow checkbox editing, but no text editing.

Checkbox + AllowEdit (Strange Behavour) : Excellent. Thanks!

Cancel = True will cancel any changes made in request edit, so that wont work.

I decided to add Item.CanEditCheckboxItem property to not break existing functionality. So incase someone actually wants to allow check box items to be edited they will be allowed to.

Set Item.CanEditCheckboxItem = False and you are good to go :)

**edit** I made False the default setting after checking an older version (12.1.1) and seeing that even with the item set to editable it would not display an edit control.

Thanks for the responses guys. Yes I have not seen this problem in previous releases either.

While this is not a good work around, I was able to get what I wanted by setting ReportGrid.AllowEdit = False. Lucky for me the only editable items in my lists are checkboxes.

I hope that this is fix soon.

Here's a workaround if you are desperate for something until a proper fix is issued:

General section:


Private Declare Function SendMessageLong Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_CLOSE As Long = &H10

Code (adjust for the name of your reportcontrol as required)


Private Sub ReportControl1_BeginEdit(ByVal Row As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, ByVal Column As XtremeReportControl.IReportColumn, ByVal Item As XtremeReportControl.IReportRecordItem)
   If Item.HasCheckbox Then
      ' Close the cell editor if item has a checkbox
      SendMessageLong Me.ReportControl1.InplaceEditHwnd, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0
   End If
End Sub

Hi,

I can't find a workaround and it seems we need a fix for this before new release.

This was working OK in previous versions.

Mark, please fix this for V14.0

Okay, there is a RequestEdit event, which fires before the edit window appears and allows you to cancel editing. Can you test for your column there and then set Cancel = True?

If you set ReportControl.EditOnClick = False, does it still happen?

If you provide a small sample, I can experiment a bit to try and find a solution.

One thing I notice is that there is no CancelEdit or FinishEditing method like some other grids I use - this would be nice.

Even nicer would be a BeforeEdit(Cancel As Boolean) event that allows you to prevent editing based on any arbitrary conditions that you may have, but I don't see an event like this either.

I am also interested in a way to solve this issue. Any solution? (besides the one to use pictures emulating checkboxes instead of checkboxes)
