<h5 id="C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_ChangeEdit_remarks"><strong>Remarks</strong></h5>
<div class="markdown level0 remarks"><p>This event fires while the grid is in edit mode and the contents of the editor change.
This may be caused by the user typing into the editor or selecting a new item in a 
drop down list.</p>
<p>When this event fires, the new editor content has not been applied to the grid cell yet.
You may check the new content using the <a class="xref" href="C1.Win.FlexGrid.C1FlexGridBase.Editor.html#C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_Editor">Editor</a> property.</p>

<h5 id="C1_Win_FlexGrid_C1FlexGridBase_ChangeEdit_examples"><strong>Examples</strong></h5>

{
  // get text in editor
  string text = _flex.Editor.Text;

  // show message if it's too long
  statusStrip1.Text = text.Length &gt; 10
    ? "This text seems too long..."
    : "This text looks OK...";
}</code></pre>
