LineCustomFieldPlugin class

Much like the CustomFieldPlugin class, the LineCustomFieldPlugin class is used for the display and interaction with custom fields - but for custom fields on lines (grids) - such as sales order lines. It uses the following methods:

FormatCell

This is used to format the Spread grid cell of the custom field contents. Often used for setting combo-box items, for example:

public void FormatCell(JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.IJiwaBusinessLogic BusinessLogicHost, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.Controls.JiwaGrid GridObject, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.IJiwaForm FormObject, int Col, int Row, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.IJiwaCustomFieldValues HostObject, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.CustomFields.CustomField CustomField, JiwaFinancials.Jiwa.JiwaApplication.CustomFields.CustomFieldValue CustomFieldValue)
{
  // FormatCell handler for a combo custom field
  if (CustomField.PluginCustomField.Name == "MyCustomFieldName") 
  {
		var typeCell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.ComboBoxCellType();			
		typeCell.Items = new string[] { "Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3"};
		typeCell.ItemData = new string[] { "1", "2", "3"};
		typeCell.EditorValue = FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.EditorValue.ItemData;                  
		GridObject.ActiveSheet.Cells[Row, GridObject.ActiveSheet.GetColumnFromTag(null, CustomField.PluginCustomField.GridColumnName).Index].CellType = typeCell;
  }
}

Note that the only difference between the FormatCell of the LineCustomFieldPlugin class and the FormatCell if the CustomFieldPlugin class is the column tag is CustomField.PluginCustomField.GridColumnName instead of “Contents”.
