Datagrid validation problem

Rob
I currently use the datatable.Colum nChanging event to call
my data validation method in a bound datagrid (Windows not
Web). This is causing me problems since the user must
click away from the datagrid or select another cell to run
the validation.

Is there another way to call the validate of a bound
datagrid that begins when the user first starts to type
rather than when the cell is changed or the datagrid loses
focus?

Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.

Hey, Rob:

This columnChanging events will only be fired when you try to commit the
change to the Dataset, by typing in the grid can't get this event to fire,
you have to move the focus to another cell to try to commit the change.

I am not sure how you want to validate when the user just starts to type,
If the validation starts at the beginning of an input typing, how can you
know what the proposed value is? if it's like a permission check, you can
try to set the readonly property of the column so the user won't be able to
input new values.

Thanks.

Hi all in the thread,

One can inherit from DataGridTextBox Column and subscribe to the hosted text
box's TextChanged event to perform instant input validation (for example,
when only alphanumeric characters should be allowed).

Hello all...I'm new to the board. I have a problem that I hope someone here might be able to solve for me. I am doing some clientside validation using Javascript. The text I am testing is within a textbox that is part of a datagrid. To complicate things, the datagrid is part of a user control. The following code is all part of the user control. The validation part of the script works fine. However, when I try to set the focus...

I have a read only datagrid that is designed to coordinate itself with textboxes. When the user clicks on a row in the datagrid, detailed data for that row is displayed for editing in the textboxes.

So I coordinate syncronization of the two sets of data using code. I use...

Hi, I need a big help to resolve this problem. I need to put a usercontrol in a datagrid: this control check if the code inserted is present in a archive and if not return a error message. (In the example I have changed this check with a easy "if string is empty" ) Everything would be easy if the datagrid had a predictable behaviour. I explain my problem.

Hi, I have a page with a datagrid that you have to scroll to see. I'm using the StrengthControls SmartScroller as recommended to maintain my scroll position. Anyway, inside the datagrid I have fields that require validation. No problem, I put the validators on them and they work just fine... Except for the fact that when a user has an invalid entry and fires a validation event client side the scroll position is reset to the top of the...

I have a asp.net page (C#), with a datagrid. I use template for all columns, and have <asp:requiredfieldvalidator> in with one of the textboxes, to make sure it's filled in. However, this validation is not firing, even when I leave the field empty.

Based upon some prevoius postings on what to do for adding a 'add' row to a datagrid I utilize the footer to create the 'add' row. The only issue is that I have it sharing the 'UpDate_Command' and I use an argument to difference between an 'edit' vs. and 'add. But since I have field validation on both 'footer' and 'edit' columns I can't submit my edits since the footer validation kicks in.If I take the validation off then the both work fine...

Hi, I have a DataGrid where in each row has couple of text boxes and an update button. Each row is dynamically generated as the number of rows are not known ahead of time. When the user clicks the update button, I do a postback to capture the data entered. However I dont want to do a postback when the textboxes are empty.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
