I have a custom control called RichTextBoxMasked which is similar to a MaskedTextBox but different. This control, when dropped on a form, allows me to "mask" the value in the RichTextBox. The enum values for the control are:
enum Mask { None, DateOnly, PhoneWithArea, IpAddress, SSN, Decimal, Digit, AllCaps, SpellCheck}
Either programmatically or via a dropdown in the property grid, I can restrict the value of the control to one of the above formatted types, or perform spellcheck.
So far, so good, but now I want to do the same thing in a DataGridView. That is, I want a DataGridViewRichTextBoxMaskedColumn that provides the same function for the content of the cells of the columns.
So I started with very good sample project that I found at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/31823/RichTextBox-Cell-in-a-DataGridView.
This code allows me to host a RichTextBox in the cells of a DataGridViewColumn easily enough by substituting "RichTextBoxMasked" for every occurrence of "RichTextBox", but I cant determine how to pass a Mask value from my enum to the cell so that the editing control knows what to do with it.
I hesitate to post my code because there is a lot of it. I hope that viewing the Code Project sample will suffice. However, I have posted a bit of code below that shows the custom control being added to a panel on a form. I hope to do something similar to a column in a DataGridView.
RichTextBoxMasked rtbx = new RichTextBoxMasked();
rtbx.Masked = Mask.SpellCheck;
pnlEquipmentDetails.Controls.Add(rtbx);
Will I have to resort to a custom DataGridViewRichTextBoxMaskedCell to replace the DataGridViewTextBoxCell class found in the sample? If not, then how should I modify the sample code? If so, then how would I go about doing that?
