GetContext(Type,Boolean) Method

Returns an object of requested type that relates to the element or null.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Overrides Function GetContext( _
   ByVal type As Type, _
   ByVal checkParentElementContexts As Boolean _
) As Object

C#

public override object GetContext( 
   Type type,
   bool checkParentElementContexts
)

Parameters

type

The requested type or null to pick up default context object.

checkParentElementContexts

If true will walk up the parent chain looking for the context.

Return Value

An object of requested type that relates to the element or null.

Remarks

Classes that override this method normally need to override the Infragistics.Win.UIElement.ContinueDescendantSearch(System.Type,System.Object[]) method as well.

Example

This sample uses GetAncestor to determine if we have clicked a RowUIElement on an UltraWinGrid, then uses GetContext to get at the RowUIElements associated row.

Visual Basic

Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Diagnostics

Public Function GetRowCellCount(ByVal pt As Point) As Integer
      
       ' Determine if we clicked on a row, first get the element under the mouse.
       Dim elementUnderMouse As UIElement

		elementUnderMouse = Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.UIElement.ElementFromPoint(pt)

       If Not elementUnderMouse Is Nothing Then
           Dim elementRow As UIElement 

				elementRow = elementUnderMouse.GetAncestor(GetType(UltraWinGrid.RowUIElement))
           If Not elementRow Is Nothing Then

               ' You now have the row element to do with as you please.
               ' Get the count of the cells collection
               Dim row As UltraWinGrid.UltraGridRow = elementRow.GetContext(GetType(UltraWinGrid.UltraGridRow))
               If Not row Is Nothing Then
                   Debug.WriteLine(row.Cells.Count.ToString())
                   Return row.Cells.Count
               End If
           End If
       End If

       Return 0

   End Function

C#

using Infragistics.Win;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Diagnostics;

private int GetRowCellCount(Point pt)
{
	// Determine if we clicked on a row
	UIElement elementUnderMouse = this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.UIElement.ElementFromPoint(pt);

	if (null != elementUnderMouse)
	{
		UIElement elementRow = elementUnderMouse.GetAncestor(typeof(UltraWinGrid.RowUIElement ));

		if (null != elementRow)
		{
			// You now have the row element to do with as you please.
			// Get the count of the cells collection
			UltraWinGrid.UltraGridRow row = elementRow.GetContext(typeof(UltraWinGrid.UltraGridRow)) as UltraWinGrid.UltraGridRow ;

			if (null != row)
			{
				Debug.WriteLine(row.Cells.Count.ToString());
				return row.Cells.Count;
			}
		}
	}

	return 0;
