Dear Tiago,

By the way, I was wondering how come you are the only one with a picture next to your name… Have I missed some registration procedure?

Dear Tiago,

I didn’t need to restart! In fact, after updating to the latest wisej version (1.2.40), my tools showed up.

Many thanks for your help.

Alex

Changed the handler to

private void dataGridView1_CellToolClick(object sender, DataGridViewToolClickEventArgs e)
{
    var cell = ((DataGridView)sender).Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells[e.ColumnIndex];
    cell.Value = string.Empty;
 
    ((DataGridView)sender).EditingControl.Text = cell.Value.ToString();
 
}

and now it works.

Hi Alex.

There’s nothing wrong with your code. I tryed it on my own project (copy&paste) and it runs all right. So… other than suggesting a computer restart :), I can’t help you.

Luca, I’m sorry, I get the same error even with the latest 1.2.40. The first screen does not show up at all. Since it works on my dev but not on “production” I suspect some problem with the License on the remote server.

Hi Tiago,

Thanks for your answer. But I can’t make it work. I do the same as the steps you mention, but in my code, not using the designer. As soon as I create the ComponentTool, i.e. uncomment the first of the commented out lines in the following, I get and empty screen….

Thanks again.
Alex

public partial class Window7 : Form
{
public Window7()
{
InitializeComponent();

var text = new TextBox();
text.Left = 100;
text.Top = 100;
this.Controls.Add(text);

//var tool = new ComponentTool();
//tool.Position = LeftRightAlignment.Left;
//tool.ImageSource = “tab-close”;
//tool.ToolTipText = “Push this to get magic!”;
//text.Tools.Add(tool);
}
}

Alex,

One of the previous builds had a problem with tools that caused the creation of the widgets to stop.

Hi Tiago,

The property to hide the tools when losing the focus is not there yet. It needs to be defined better.

All DGV columns with editors that support tools have the Tools property and are all implemented.

Hi Alex,

Please use the latest. You can also find loaded on the test server. There was a problem with the toolbox items that interrupted the creation of the widgets on the client.

Yes. It wasn’t working when the combobox was dropdown only – not editable

As per 2.1.40.0, replace System.EventHandler by Wisej.Web.ToolClickEventHandler

This same version introduces cell Tools. Use the designer and set the Tools on the relevant column. You must also set CellToolClick event handler.

Fixed on 1.2.40.0

Hi Alex,

I just used the designer and  to add componentTool1 Tool to txtAddress TextBox it generated the following code:

Wisej.Web.ComponentTool componentTool1 = new Wisej.Web.ComponentTool();

...

componentTool1.ImageSource = "tab-close";
componentTool1.Name = "clear";
componentTool1.ToolTipText = "ClearTextBox";
this.txtAddress.Tools.AddRange(new Wisej.Web.ComponentTool[] {
componentTool1});

...

this.txtAddress.ToolClick += new System.EventHandler(this.txtAddress_ToolClick);

and also the event handler

private void txtAddress_ToolClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtAddress.Text = string.Empty;
}

Hi guys,

I’m trying to get a Tools in a Textbox, but as soon as I add a Tool to the tools collection, the form becomes invisible. What am I missing? Can you share a piece of implementation code? Below the code I’m using.

Best,
Alex

………………………………………

var fOtherForm = new Form();
fOtherForm.MdiParent = this;
fOtherForm.Show();

var text = new TextBox();
text.Left = 100;
text.Top = 100;
fOtherForm.Controls.Add(text);

var tools = new ComponentToolCollection(text);
var tool = new ComponentTool();
tool.Position = LeftRightAlignment.Left;
tool.ToolTipText = “Push this to get magic!”;

// Up to here, the TextBox is visible in the form, after the following line I get an empty screen!

tools.Add(tool);

Hi Frank,

As per 1.2.38.0 Suggest or SuggestAppend modes aren’t working. I checked using the sample Wisej.CustomColumnEditor submitted by Luca on https://wisej.com/support/question/initial-comment-on-datagridview-enhancement

Hi Luca,

There are 2 issues on this thread:

1. add a property to the tool to hide it when losing the focus – what’s the status on this?
2. make the property Tools available for the applicable DGV cell classes – as far as I tested, this isn’t ready (at least for DataGridViewTextBoxCell).

Thanks Luca, that fixed it.

1.2.39.0 Update

Sorry, it’s not fully tested. Still short until Monday.

Breaking Changes

– The ToolClick event and OnToolClick method have been changed to be consistent with the .NET event system. Now the sender is the control that owns the tools, and the args is an instance of ToolClickEventArgs with a property named Tool that is a reference to the ComponentTool widget that was clicked. Known issue: The tool button must have a name or it’s not detected correctly by the event.

– The property Application.Context has been removed. There is no need to save and restore the context for out-of-bounds real time updates.
