R – How to add a button to a compact framework DataGrid

compact-frameworkwindows-mobile

Is it possible to add a button to a column in the DataGrid for the compact framework? So far the only thing I can find is you can add textbox and that's it. What would be a good alternative to a DataGrid that can allow other controls?

You can use the DataGrid's

public Rectangle GetCellBounds(int row, int col);

with

public event EventHandler CurrentCellChanged;
public DataGridCell CurrentCell { get; set; }

public event MouseEventHandler MouseMove;
public HitTestInfo HitTest(int x, int y);

to show a Button (or another control) over the selected cell.

What about the Smart Device Framework? The GUI components don't look as fancy as those in the Resco toolkit, but SDF seems to have a broader basic selection (SDF doc). I've never used either (have only used MFC on WinCE), but would also like to hear about CF development experiences.

You can set the column style width to 0 or -1.

DataGridTableStyle ts = new DataGridTableStyle();
ts.MappingName = "Order";

// Order date column style
DataGridColumnStyle cust_id = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
cust_id.MappingName = "cust_id";
cust_id.HeaderText = "ID";

//Hide Customer ID
cust_id.Width = -1;

ts.GridColumnStyles.Add(cust_id);

// Shipping name column style
DataGridColumnStyle cust_name = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
cust_name.MappingName = "cust_name";
cust_name.HeaderText = "Customer";
cust_name.Width = 500;
ts.GridColumnStyles.Add(cust_name);

GridView1.TableStyles.Add(ts);
