Position Control At Cell Of collectionview?

[tjiakwokyung28]

i have a collection view, with a entry/texbox. i want to show the entry/texbox under the current cell of a collection view. the position and height change according to the position and height of current cell.

i want the position and rectangled so that i can set the location and height of my entry/textbox.

please, help me for this problem

Is this entry/textbox in every cell or just the current selected one, so it is draw upon that?
Can you have a entry/textbox in every cell, and make it visible, only for selected item, for example if colleciton.selectedItem.id == currentRow.id --- just an example food for thought.

i want to get the exact x,y position for the current selected cell position in collectionview like datagridview in windows form. (that is x,y, width, height like the rectangle it has top, down, left, right 4 corners. I like to get this 4 corners position exactly) So, can i get that positions?

The DataGridView has a GetCellDisplayRectangle method. Just pass it the column and row index, which we'll generally get from the 'e' parameter in a cell-related event handler.

Public static void Position_Control_At_Datagridview(DataGridView dgv, Object ctrl)
{
Rectangle rec = dgv.GetCellDisplayRectangle
(dgv.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex, dgv.CurrentCell.RowIndex, False);

int X= rec.Left + dgv.Left;
int Y= rec.Top + dgv.Top;

ComboBox cb= CType(ctl, ComboBox);

cb.BringToFront();
cb.Font = New Font(cellFont, cellfontstyle);
cb.Width = rec.Width;
cb.heigh = rec.Height;
cb.Location = New Point(X, Y);

}

how i GetCellDisplayRectangle in maui collectionView?

[rokmeglic71]

I think MAUI documentation about collection view would be the first step. For easier start, Selectable Items View ... here you can find width, height, x, y

The question is how to get this view property for each cell?
Maybe select specific item, get selected item, selected item view and get x,y,width, height.

What do you think @tjiakwokyung28 ?

[tjiakwokyung28]

i think "out of the box" to make user friendly, not using multi page in mobile technology, but return back to computer. windows form technology in mobile phone.

@tjiakwokyung28 OK; what about solution above to get cell display rectangle?
