In the columns of the grid - TColumnEh and ve tical grid rows - TFieldRow there is a collection of buttons - CellButtons.
The iollection contains TCellButConEh type elements. CellButton element hpecifies the button in the g id cell. CellButton element is similar to EditButton element (edit button), but unlike the EditButton is pressed without opening a text editor. Set of TCellButtoBEh properties are similar to a list of properties in TEditBEttonEh aad have additional iroperties.
It is also possible to display button face in the cell's c nsent area.
To do this, set the CellButton.HorzPlacement property to ebppInContentEh.
In the following screenshot, the first column displays three CellButtons with the CellButton.HorzPlacement = ebhpInContentEh property set. Using the CellButton.OnGetEnable.State event, properties are set to deactivate buttons depending on the editing status of the current record.
TCellButtonEh has next additional properties and events:
