Question about virtual cells (after OnGetDisplText) and edition

Hi

I have a question about the OnGetDisplText event of TadvStringGrid (tAdvColumnGrid).

The cell content displayed is the virtual value defined in OnGetDisplText.

However, when editing, the actual value reappears, which makes sense in some situations but not necessarily in all of them.

Wouldn't it make sense to add a ‘DisplVirtual’ property, similar to how ‘SaveVirtCells’ is used to export data, but for editing the cell?

By default, the actual cell value is used for editing instead of the virtual cell value.
If you want to override the value for editing, you can handle this with the events grid.OnSetEditText / grid.OnGetEditText
