GridView - Batch Edit - How to calculate values on the fly

This example demonstrates how to create an unbound column that calculates the sum of other columns and changes its values on the fly when end-user changes any grid values using Batch edit mode.
To implement the required task, perform the following steps:

1. Create an unbound column in the same manner as described in the Unbound Columns help article:

[C#]
settings.Columns.Add(column=>{column.UnboundType=DevExpress.Data.UnboundColumnType.Decimal;column.FieldName="Sum";column.ReadOnly=true;});settings.CustomUnboundColumnData=(sender,e)=>{if(e.Column.FieldName=="Sum"){decimalprice=Convert.ToDecimal(e.GetListSourceFieldValue("Price"));intquantity=Convert.ToInt32(e.GetListSourceFieldValue("Quantity"));e.Value=price*quantity;}};

2. Handle the client-side ASPxClientGridView.BatchEditStartEditing event to save the currently edited column name as a global JavaScript variable:

[JScript]
var currentColumnName;function OnBatchEditStartEditing(s, e){
    currentColumnName = e.focusedColumn.fieldName;}

 3. Handle the ASPxClientGridView.BatchEditEndEditing event to re-calculate the values based on the new changes and set it to the unbound column using the ASPxClientGridViewBatchEditApi.SetCellValue method:

[JScript]
function OnBatchEditEndEditing(s, e){
    window.setTimeout(function(){var price = s.batchEditApi.GetCellValue(e.visibleIndex, "Price");var quantity = s.batchEditApi.GetCellValue(e.visibleIndex, "Quantity");
        s.batchEditApi.SetCellValue(e.visibleIndex, "Sum", price * quantity);}, 10);}
