programmatically calling the button click event in a cell of type pushbutton

How can I programmatically fire the Button click event on a cell that has a celltype of pushbutton? Not only would the event fire when the user clicks on the button, but I would also like the event to fire when the user presses the Enter/Return key while in the cell. Thanks!

Here is one way you can do it by faking a click on the cell. //click cell 4,4 this.gridControl1.Focus(); Point pt = this.gridControl1.ViewLayout.RowColToPoint(4, 4, true, GridCellSizeKind.ActualSize); pt.Offset(3,3); //move it a little Syncfusion.Drawing.ActiveXSnapshot.FakeLeftMouseClick(this.gridControl1, pt);

Actually, I made a mistake. The celltype is actually EllipsesText (from your example) and only takes up the last 20 pixels of the column width. I tried your example and it doesn''t work, even when I offset the point n pixels. I get a round circle with line thru it whenever I hit the enter or return key. Any suggestions on this one? Thanks!

Is there a way for me to get a handle to the EllipseText button itself?

I think you would have to expose methods to do this. It will take touching a couple of classes I think. //A) in the EllipsisCellRenderer class //1) add a button member and assign it in teh constructor private EllipsisCellButton button; public EllipsisCellRenderer(GridControlBase grid, GridTextBoxCellModel cellModel) : base(grid, cellModel) { this.button = new EllipsisCellButton(this); AddButton(this.button); } //2) add this public method method public void PerformClick() { this.button.PerformClick(new GridCellEventArgs(this.RowIndex, this.ColIndex)); } //B) in the EllipsisCellButton class, add this method public void PerformClick(GridCellEventArgs e) { base.OnClicked(e); } //C) here is the code that clicks it this.gridControl1.Focus(); EllipsisCellRenderer cr = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.Renderer as EllipsisCellRenderer; if(cr != null) cr.PerformClick();
