Textbox in grid column question.... When is the value entered in a textbox in a grid column applied to the underlying bound cursor relative to the firing of the grid.AfterRowColChange() when user hits tab to move to the next column?
Here is the situation I am struggling to understand: When entering a new value in a column and then hitting tab to go to the next column, it appears that the value from the textbox which you are exiting is not applied to the cursor yet at the time AfterRowColChange() fires. I have some calculation logic on AfterRowColChange() and the old value is what I am seeing.
As a hack, I have gone this route, but I hate it: In order to get the value from the textbox in the cursor soon enough to be seen by the AfterRowColChange() method code, I have put explicit code in the textbox.Valid() to say “Replace {field} with This.Value in {lcCursor}” and then the cursor is updated so that when AfterRowColChange() is called, it will see the new value in the row for that field.
Am I making any sense with this explanation? What am I missing?
