GetContext() Method

Returns the primary context object.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Function GetContext() As Object

C#

public object GetContext()

Remarks

If there is no primary context object the default implementation walks up the parent element chain until it finds one.

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;
