EDIT: As it turns out, the grid does not support unbound mode in MultiRecordView layout.
I will try to ask this question a different way since my last one was downvoted without comment, so I don't know what the downvoter was objecting to.
I've worked quite a lot with the DevExpress VerticalGrid in unbound mode in SingleRecordView. We use it in all of our desktop applications that involve lots of data-entry. All data-entry forms are consistent in look-and-feel and so user training is minimal. I think it is a great control.
However, I don't understand how to use it in unbound mode in MultiRecordView layout. I cannot even figure out how to populate the unbound grid with the data for several records. In SingleRecord layout, I use the RowsIterator to move data from my data object in memory into the corresponding row/cell in the VerticalGrid's single record.
But in MultiRecordView layout, I can't figure out how to add the second record and the third record, etc etc, and position the current record pointer so that the RowsIterator is working with the rows of the correct record.
A small code snippet, showing how to move the current record pointer when adding the second and subsequent records in MultiRecordView, would be very helpful.
I've tried AddNewRecord() and setting the FocusedRecord but without success:
for (int i = 0; i < MyTable.Rows.Count; i++)
{
vGridControl1.AddNewRecord();
vGridControl1.FocusedRecord = i;
vGridControl1.RowsIterator.DoOperation(new DataPuller(MyTable.Rows[i]));
}
and here's a relevant snippet from my DataPuller object:
public override void Execute(DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Rows.BaseRow brow)
{
//<snip>
if (brow is DevExpress.XtraVerticalGrid.Rows.EditorRow)
{
string fieldname = brow.Properties.FieldName;
if (table.Columns.Contains(fieldname))
{
brow.Properties.Value = (table[fieldname] == DBNull.Value) ? null : table[fieldname];
}
}
//<snip>
}
