Examples

The following sample provides a simple implementation of the IEditableObject interface. The Customer class stores customer information and can be used as a collection for a customer database. This sample assumes that you have used the CustomerList class that can be found in sample in the IBindingList class.

public ref class Customer: public IEditableObject
{
private:
   ref struct CustomerData
   {
   internal:
      String^ id;
      String^ firstName;
      String^ lastName;
   };

internal:
   CustomersList^ parent;
   CustomerData^ custData;
   CustomerData^ backupData;
   bool inTxn;

   // Implements IEditableObject
public:
   virtual void BeginEdit()
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Start BeginEdit" );
      if (  !inTxn )
      {
         this->backupData = custData;
         inTxn = true;
         Console::WriteLine( "BeginEdit - {0}", this->backupData->lastName );
      }

      Console::WriteLine( "End BeginEdit" );
   }

   virtual void CancelEdit()
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Start CancelEdit" );
      if ( inTxn )
      {
         this->custData = backupData;
         inTxn = false;
         Console::WriteLine( "CancelEdit - {0}", this->custData->lastName );
      }

      Console::WriteLine( "End CancelEdit" );
   }

   virtual void EndEdit()
   {
      Console::WriteLine( "Start EndEdit{0}{1}", this->custData->id, this->custData->lastName );
      if ( inTxn )
      {

Remarks

This interface is typically used to capture the BeginEdit, EndEdit, and CancelEdit semantics of a DataRowView.
