Description

GetEditText always returns an empty string ('') in TCustomGrid. It is overridden in descendent classes like TCustomDrawGrid and TCustomStringGrid to signal an OnGetEditText event handler.

GetEditText is called from the EditorDoSetValue method when TGridMessages are dispatched to the Editor to set the edit mask and value used in the control.
