Move focus to filter bar cell issue

[Ralf Kuhn]

Hi, I'm using a GridGroupingControl on a windows forms dialog and would like to set the focus 

in the top left filter bar cell after opening the dialog. So the user can start to type 

in a filter criteria without clicking into the cell. This code (called in the Form_Shown event) does not work 

(also calling this synchronously does not have the desired effect): void Form_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e) { Dispatcher.CurrentDispatcher.BeginInvoke((System.Action)(() => { grid.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(row, column, GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus); grid.Focus(); grid.TableControl.CurrentCell.BeginEdit(); } } Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi Ralf,

 

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

 

If you want to set the Currentcell to be focused with editable while form is showing, you can simply set the CurrentCell’s MoveTo method for your needed cell using form Shown event. Please make use of below code and attached sample,

 

Code Snippet:

 

this.Shown += new EventHandler(Form1_Shown);

void Form1_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(3, 1,  GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus); //Specify your needed cell index

}

 

Please let me know if you have any concerns.
