9 years ago No, there isn't any way baked into the library to do this. On purpose -- to avoid dependencies between the components.
You can communicate "upwards" with events, triggered on the collection for example. But for what you are describing, subclassing the cells makes more sense.
Hi, Is there a way in which we can get the parent view from a child view? In my case, I want to get the Grid object from a cell - is there any way to do that? My reasoning is as follows: I have a grid, collection and cells. Based on where the grid is called from, the cells should have minor behaviour differences. i.e. So when I am calling from foo, I want cell to behave a little differently from when I am calling from Bar. The collection is the same.
Now the only way I could see is by creating different cell types (Cell A and Cell B), which then I set in the columns differently based on where I call it.
I think a better and more correct approach is to have the grid itself different based on inheritance. Then when I am calling from foo, I set a parameter which tells the grid this semantic information. If I can get the parent object from the cell, I can check based on this parameter and behave accordingly.
Please let me know whether it is possible - and if not, do you feel it is a good idea for future addition
