Data Editing

Embedded Data Editors

Our WPF Data Editors Library provides a collection of controls that can be embedded into grid cells for editing and better data presentation. To see the complete list of controls and to learn about masked input and other advanced features of the DXEditors Library, please refer to our WPF Data Editors web page.

Create Data Editors and Viewers Using Templates

You can provide a custom cell viewer or editor by using WPF Templates. For instance, the following image shows a demo screenshot where a column uses progress bars as data viewers and a track bar as an editor.

New Item Row

If you need to allow end-users to add new records, simply enable Microsoft Outlook style New Item Row.

Input Validation

Our WPF Input Validation system uses the same core engine as our WinForms Grid control. Features include:

• Data validation at the dataset lev - a specially designed interface helps you validate your data and display warning icons within your grid control.
• Data validation on the grid level - when entering incorrect data, end-users aren't allowed to leave the active editor or row until they enter correct data or cancel their changes.
• Advanced data validation interface - this interface allows you to customize how an error is displayed within a grid control. For instance, you can use custom error icons or highlight entire grid rows that contain errors.
