[Enter] key to add line break

[Robert Dondo]

By default, when I press [Enter], I am taken to the next Cell. Is there a way I can change that behavior such that pressing [Enter] only adds a line break in the current cell?

Hi Robert, 

 

We have analyzed your query. Your requirement can be achieved by setting AcceptsReturn="True" in GridDataColumnStyle for the visible column you want to add a line break in the current cell.

 

Example:

 

<syncfusion:GridDataVisibleColumn MappingName="CustomerID">

       <syncfusion:GridDataVisibleColumn.ColumnStyle>

             <syncfusion:GridDataColumnStyle AcceptsReturn="True" />

       </syncfusion:GridDataVisibleColumn.ColumnStyle>

</syncfusion:GridDataVisibleColumn>

 

 

Please let us know if you have any concerns.

Thanks, that helped. But, it only works when I press [SHIFT]+[ENTER] . Is there a way I can make it work with just [ENTER]?

Hi Robert,

 

Sorry for the delay caused.

 

By default, in our GridDataControl line break can be inserted by pressing [Shift+Enter] key. When AcceptReturn property is set as True in GridDataColumnStyle as previously suggested, line break can be inserted by pressing [Enter] key.  We have attached a sample in the following location based on this.

 

Please let us know if you have any concern.

Divya.

Hi,

Even with the sample supplied, when I press [Enter], the cell loses focus. It only adds a line break when i do a [Shift]+[Enter].
