Initializes a new instance of the PairChar class with specified left and right characters.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Visual Basic (Usage)
C#

Public Function New( _
   ByVal left As Char, _
   ByVal right As Char _
)

Dim left As Char
Dim right As Char
 
Dim instance As New PairChar(left, right)

public PairChar( 
   char left,
   char right
)

Parameters

left: The left character of the pair.
right: The right character of the pair.

Example

The following code example uses the PairCharValidator to validate whether the input string matches the character pair '( )'. If you enter edit mode and input 2*(3+4, the right ')' does not match the left '(', and the input text font changes to a bold red color to notify you the validation failed. This example is part of a larger example available for the CellValidator class.

void setPairCharValidator_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Template template = Template.CreateGridTemplate(1);

            PairCharValidator pairCharValidator = new PairCharValidator();
            pairCharValidator.PairChars.Add(new PairChar('(', ')'));

            CellStyleNotify cellStyleNotify = new CellStyleNotify();
            cellStyleNotify.InvalidCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red;
            cellStyleNotify.InvalidCellStyle.Font = new Font(DefaultFont, FontStyle.Bold);
            cellStyleNotify.DoActionReason = ValidateReasons.EditedFormattedValueChanged;

            pairCharValidator.Actions.Add(cellStyleNotify);

            template.Row.Cells[0].Validators.Add(pairCharValidator);

            this.gcMultiRow1.Template = template;
            label.Text = "The PairCharValidator.PairChars is '( )', in edit mode, if you input '2*(3+4' to trigger validation, 
validation fails, the font changes, if input '2*(3+4)' to trigger validation, the validation succeeds.";
        }

VB.NET

Private Sub setPairCharValidator_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles 
setPairCharValidator.Click
        Dim template As Template = template.CreateGridTemplate(1)

        Dim pairCharValidator As New PairCharValidator()
        pairCharValidator.PairChars.Add(New PairChar("("c, ")"c))

        Dim cellStyleNotify As New CellStyleNotify()
        cellStyleNotify.InvalidCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Red
        cellStyleNotify.InvalidCellStyle.Font = New Font(DefaultFont, FontStyle.Bold)
        cellStyleNotify.DoActionReason = ValidateReasons.EditedFormattedValueChanged

        pairCharValidator.Actions.Add(cellStyleNotify)

        template.Row.Cells(0).Validators.Add(pairCharValidator)

        Me.gcMultiRow1.Template = template
        label.Text = "The PairCharValidator.PairChars is '( )', in edit mode, if you input '2*(3+4' to trigger validation, 
validation fails, the font is changed, if input '2*(3+4)' to trigger validation, the validation succeeds."
    End Sub
