EditCellAppearance Property (UltraGridOverride)

Determines the Appearance object applied to the UltraGridCell object when it is in editing mode.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property EditCellAppearance As Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase
public Infragistics.Win.AppearanceBase EditCellAppearance {get; set;}
Remarks

The EditCellAppearance property is used to specify the appearance of the cell that is in edit mode. (The ActiveCell property indicates which cell is currently active; a cell that is being edited is always the active cell. You can use the IsInEditMode property of the control to determine whether the cell is currently being edited.) When you assign an Appearance object to the EditCellAppearance property, the properties of that object will be applied to any cell that is in edit mode. You can use the EditCellAppearance property to examine or change any of the appearance-related properties that are currently assigned to the cell being edited, for example:

UltraWinGrid1.Override.EditCellAppearance.BackColor = vbRed

Because you may want the edit cell to look different at different levels of a hierarchical record set, EditCellAppearance is a property of the UltraGridOverride object. This makes it easy to specify different appearances for each band by assigning each UltraGridBand object its own UltraGridOverride object. If a band does not have an override assigned to it, the control will use the override at the next higher level of the override hierarchy to determine the properties for that band. In other words, any band without an override will use its parent band's override, and the top-level band will use the grid's override. Therefore, if the top-level band does not have its override set, the edit cell will use the grid-level setting of EditCellAppearance.

Example
Following code sets the EditCellAppearance on the layout's override and a band's override.

Imports Infragistics.Shared
Imports Infragistics.Win
Imports Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid

  Private Sub Button38_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles button38.Click

      ' Set the EditCellAppearance on the layout's override. It applies to whichever cell that
      ' goes into edit mode and while it stays in edit mode.
      Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.EditCellAppearance.BackColor = Color.Green

      ' You can override that grid-wide setting for a particular band by setting it on the
      ' override of that band.
      Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(1).Override.EditCellAppearance.BackColor = Color.Red

  End Sub
using Infragistics.Shared;
using Infragistics.Win;
using Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid;
using System.Diagnostics;

private void button38_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

	// Set the EditCellAppearance on the layout's override. It applies to whichever cell that
	// goes into edit mode and while it stays in edit mode.
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.EditCellAppearance.BackColor = Color.Green;

	// You can override that grid-wide setting for a particular band by setting it on the
	// override of that band.
	this.ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[1].Override.EditCellAppearance.BackColor = Color.Red;

}
