Hi, Boki:

Trying to wrap up the NG5 to NG6 conversion but am still finding a number of differences which may kill the conversion process for me.

 

I will be asking about each as a separate topic as they come up in debugging of my program.

 

 

In NG5 you have the Grid5.Columns[ACol].ColumnType with possible property values of:

 TColumnType = (ctAutoInc, ctBoolean, ctNone, ctDate,

    ctFloat, ctGraphic, ctGuid, ctInteger, ctString, ctLookup, ctMemo, ctVirtual);

  TColumnKind = (ckTextual, ckBlob, ckNumeric, ckImage, ckComboBox,

    ckCheckBox, ckDate, ckProgress, ckRate, ckIncrement, ckHtml);

 

Do you have anything comparable to either ColumnType or ColumnKind in NG6? How do I get that information when processing events that are generic to different types of columns and their cells?

I am particularly interested in ColumnType although I could use the ColumnKind property as well.

 

Thank you,

 

Chuck

Hello Chuck,

 

I don't have similar type and property in version 6. For this purpose I will just do a type checking, i.e. if

 

MyColumn is TNxTextColumn6 then

 

This should be enough I think.

Hi, Boki:

 

Turns out that is what I tried. The problem I found is that TNxTreeColumn6 evaluates true when compared to TNxTextColumn6.

What I ended up using is Column.ClassName instead.

 

Hope that helps others with same issue.

Chuck
