*** Web Grid control question ***

I have a successful ClientSideEndEdit event firing when I leave a cell that is part of a TextBoxColumn type.

In this client side event based on some data validating and upon leaving the cell, I want to change the background color and text color of the cell.

In your cell-based conditional formatting example, a StaticColumn is used instead of a TextBoxColumn and server side code is being used instead of client side code.

In my Java script, I tried using gridCell.overrideStyle but nothing changes. Do I need to some how get a handle to the embedded edit control first and, if so, how do I do this?

I would really appreciate your help on this.


Thank you very much,

Thanks for the reply.

Actually changing the cell style is what I really need and I had some better luck.

First I included a CellStyle tag under my TextBoxColumn to make the text green as follows:

<eo:TextBoxColumn ClientSideEndEdit="OnAfterCellEdit" DataField="UnitCost" DataFormat="" HeaderText="Unit Cost" Name="UnitCost"
Width="90">
<CellStyle CssText="color: green" />
</eo:TextBoxColumn>

Next, in my ClientSideEndEdit event, I included the gridCell.overrideStyle call after my alert message to attempt to turn the text red as follows:

// Display invalid data entered alert
window.alert("Invalid Data Entered!");

// Change the text red
gridCell.overrideStyle("color: red");

For some reason, by calling gridCell.overrideStyle above, the green text does not change to red but instead it turns black as if no cell style is set or that I called gridCell.overrideStyle with a null parameter.

Should this approach work and, if so, Am I calling gridCell.overrideStyle correctly?


Thanks very much in advance,

Tom

Sounds good...I'll give it a shot!


Thanks again,

Tom

Great. Glad that it worked for you!
