Pressing the delete key is different than typing a space. If you want to ''delete'' an entry when your user types a space, then you will have to handle some event. For example, you could try CurrentCellValidateString and do something there.
private void gridDataBoundGrid1_CurrentCellValidateString(object sender, GridCurrentCellValidateStringEventArgs e)
{
GridCurrentCell cc = this.gridDataBoundGrid1.CurrentCell;
if(cc.ColIndex == 2)
{
if(e.Text.IndexOf('' '') > -1)
{
if(cc.IsEditing)
cc.Renderer.Control.Text = "";
else
this.gridDataBoundGrid1[cc.RowIndex, cc.ColIndex].Text = "";
e.Cancel = true;
}
}
}
