1. Datagrid problem with BeforeColUpdate (bug?)
Summary: Does anyone know how I can validate the user entry in a bound
Datagrid? Does anyone else do this?
I've just tried several other approaches/kludges to no avail. This brings
me to the realization that I _cannot_ validate what the user enters.
The problem is that the underlying recordset column has a datatype of
adDBTimestamp. If you try and put something not timestamp-ish in there the
datagrid will catch it and tell you (with a lovely "Errors occurred"
message). I need to trap and validate the entry before it gets there. I
can't.
This is the chain of events:
1. User attempts to edit (by pressing a key or whatnot)
2. _BeforeColEdit is called.
3. User edits and finishes (by hitting enter or whatnot)
4. _BeforeColUpdate is called.
5. _AfterColUpdate is called.
6. _AfterColEdit is called.
If I do nothing and a problem occurs then the Datagrid catches it between
step 4 and 5 and step 5 never happens (although step 6 does).
The only place I can validate and modify the value before the Datagrid acts
on it is in step 4. But I can't because I can't determine how to get the
value that the user entered (which appears to me to be a bug). See the
replied-to post below.
The only other option I have is to munge the recordset so that the column
has a different datatype (e.g. varchar). I could then check things in step
5 or 6 using saved values from step 2 or 4. Munging the recordset is not
really acceptable (albeit possible).
Does anyone know how I can validate the user entry in a bound Datagrid?
Does anyone else do this?
thanks,
walt
