Hi Raman, 

 

We regret to inform that it is not possible to have AutoForwarding in the GridControl cell. However, we would like tom inform that you can directly use DateTimePickerAdv in the cells of the GridControl and use its AutoForwarding support by using Control CellType in GridControl as shown in the following code example.  

 

Code example :  

 

this.gridControl1[2, 2].CellType = "Control"; 

this.gridControl1[2, 2].Control = new DateTimePickerAdv() { AutoForwarding = true, Format = DateTimePickerFormat.Short, ShowCheckBox = false };

Please let us know if you have any concerns in this.

i have tried this but have some issue with this so in place of this method.

i have used  DateTimeCellRenderer   (which works well but takes some time in loading)

GridControl1.CellModels.Add("DateTimePicker", New DateTimeCellModel(GridControl1.Model))

it works fine. but only one issue in it.

i am setting celltype in event CurrentCellStartEditing.

         Dim currentCell As GridCurrentCell = Me.GridControl1.CurrentCell

        Dim style As GridStyleInfo = GridControl1.Model(currentCell.RowIndex, currentCell.ColIndex)

         style.CellType = "DateTimePicker"

when i try to start edit in first row, it takes a little bit extra time to load control in first row, in another rows it works fine.
