[Enter] key to add line break

Question

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: Please let us know if you have any concerns. Regards, Thangapriya

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.

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].
