Overview

The integration of interactive buttons within DataGrid rows is a valuable aspect of the FactoryStudioplatform, enhancing user interface design and functionality. This process allows for a dynamic and intuitive navigation system within an application, with each button serving acting as a gateway to different displays.

Integrating Buttons to a DataGrid

This process involves integrating buttons within a DataGrid, an effective tool for displaying, editing, and sorting tabular data. A custom column is created for these buttons, with each row housing a unique button.

In our

specific

example, we illustrate a DataGridWindow with a column dedicated to buttons.

The concept here is to enable

This setup enables each row of the DataGrid to have a button that, when clicked, redirects the user to a different display.

The steps include creating a Button-type column, instantiating Button objects, assigning click events to these buttons, and adding text to the buttons. Finally, the instantiated buttons are assigned to the

record's

record’s Button-type column.

One crucial aspect of this setup is

to ensure

ensuring that any click events associated with the buttons are appropriately removed when the display is closed. This action ensures resources are efficiently managed, preventing potential memory leaks.

    row2["Name"] = "Banana";

    row2["GoDisplay"] = btn2;

    @Dataset.Table.DataTable_Grid.LocalContents.Initialize(dt);
}




6. The click events are defined in the methods below:

private void GoDisplay1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Display.Open();
}

private void GoDisplay2(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    @Display.Display2.Open();
}



7. You should also define the removal of the click events added to the buttons when closing the display, as in the following code:

Code Block
public void DisplayClosing()
{
    dt.Rows.Clear();
    dt = null;

    btn1.Click -= GoDisplay1;
    btn2.Click -= GoDisplay2;
}



The generated table contains the last column with buttons that direct to different displays, as shown in the image:
