I fill a ULTRAGRID with data, which then I want to edit. This grid has a column with a boolean data ("ACTIVE" column).When I load the data, the column appears with a CHECKBOX, which is what I want.At the time I go into edit mode, column data become text ("True" "False").To test only create a form and add an UltraGrid and a UltraButton:Private Sub UltraButton1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles UltraButton1.Click Dim dt As New DataTable dt.Columns.Add("NAME", System.Type.GetType("System.String")) dt.Columns.Add("ACTIVE", System.Type.GetType("System.Boolean")) dt.Rows.Add("One", True) dt.Rows.Add("Two", False) dt.Rows.Add("Three", True) dt.Rows.Add("Four", False) dt.Rows.Add("Five", True) UltraGrid1.DataSource = dt Dim _objEdicionCheck As New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraCheckEditor _objEdicionCheck.Style = EditCheckStyle.Check _objEdicionCheck.Visible = True UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("ACTIVE").Style = UltraWinGrid.ColumnStyle.CheckBox Dim ucCheck As New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraControlContainerEditor Me.Controls.Add(_objEdicionCheck) ucCheck.EditingControl = _objEdicionCheck ucCheck.EditingControlPropertyName = "Checked" UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("ACTIVE").EditorComponent = ucCheck End Sub If I edit the column (by double click), the cell becomes in a checkbox.. and when I leave the cell, the columns returns to "True" or "False" Why the column lost the style (EditCheckStyle.Check)?
I don't understand what you are trying to do here.
Are you saying that you want the cell to show a CheckBox all the time? Or you only want it to show a CheckBox when it is in edit mode?
When do you want a CheckBox and when do you want text?
The Style property of the column just assigns a default editor to that column. Once you assign an Editor to that column, you are basically overriding the Style property so Style no longer has any effect. So there is no reason to set both.

I want always show a check box, both in edit mode and in read-only mode
I have a new example form:
When I press "Load Data", grid show results as follow:
After I want to edit this results. I press "Edit" and the column changes to Text..Why?
But when I click over the column to edit, the column become a checkbox.
The code of this new form is
Private Sub Edit_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Edit.Click 'Allow to edit UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowUpdate = DefaultableBoolean.True 'Create the ControlContainer Dim ucCheck As New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraControlContainerEditor 'Create the editor object Dim _objEditionCheck As New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraCheckEditor _objEditionCheck.Style = EditCheckStyle.Check ucCheck.EditingControl = _objEditionCheck ucCheck.EditingControlPropertyName = "Checked" UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).Columns("ACTIVE").EditorComponent = ucCheck End Sub Private Sub LoadData_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles LoadData.Click Dim dt As New DataTable dt.Columns.Add("NAME", System.Type.GetType("System.String")) dt.Columns.Add("ACTIVE", System.Type.GetType("System.Boolean")) dt.Rows.Add("One", True) dt.Rows.Add("Two", False) dt.Rows.Add("Three", True) dt.Rows.Add("Four", False) dt.Rows.Add("Five", True) 'Force the grid to be readonly UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.AllowUpdate = DefaultableBoolean.False UltraGrid1.DataSource = dt End Sub
