How to find the actual class of DevExpress Quantum Grid 4.5.1 cxEditors? Inheritance Problems.

Hi, Buddies,

Anyony use DevExpress QG? I am very confused about the inheritance of cxEditors.

Now I have several cxEditors on my form, including cxTextEdit, cxComboEdit
etc, I want to find out what kind of editor the ActiveControl on my form is at
run-time.

I used (ActiveControl is TcxTextEdit) and (ActiveControl is TcxComboEdit),
but it was always "False".

I find all the class name of these controls are "TcxCustomInnerTextEdit" by
using ActiveControl.ClassName, and anyone could plz tell me how to find out
which is which?

Thanks a lot,

Edward Wang

wyuanzheng,

You can use the parent property of the activecontrol (TcxCustomInnerTextEdit) to determine whether it is TcxTextEdit or somethin else.
e.g.


procedure TForm1.FormClick(Sender: TObject);
begin
  If (ActiveControl is TcxCustomInnerTextEdit) then
  Begin
    If (TcxCustomInnerTextEdit(ActiveControl).Parent is TcxTextEdit) OR
      (TcxCustomInnerTextEdit(ActiveControl).Parent is TcxComboBox) Then
      ShowMessage(TcxCustomInnerTextEdit(ActiveControl).Parent.Name);

  End;
end;

well,

doesn't have devexpress-quantumgrid on hand yet,
but if i remember correct, then there is a property InplaceEditor
on the column, where could be decided which class of InplaceEditor
is used.

but this is just a guess, not sure

meikl ;-)

Yes, there is absolutely a property named InplaceEditor on a column in the Grid; while, I want to know is not the column, but the editor controls on the form.
