Are there any implications I should be aware of for inherting from AutoDetectDataTypeColumnBase v/s. inheriting from Column class (the latter is what I am doing currently)?
This column type is a base class for the columns with EditorStyle provided dynamically and differs from the Column class minimally.
This is if the CurrentValue of columns have been updated from the current row, prior to EditorStyle property is referred for the current Column. Do you see any problems with this approach?
CurrentValue property refers to the selected node, in your case I just recommend you more fast method:
[c#]
public override EditorStyle OnGetEditorStyle(NodeBase node)
{
//get the cell value from the node provided
object value = node[this];
//.....
}
or you can use flyGrid.Selected and code above to extract cell value associated with this column.
