GGC: Auto-populating values when adding new record inside a group

[Sigurd Ringbakken]

Hi!

Is it possible to automatically fill columns in a new record based on the group you are inside?

I show an AddNewRecordAfterDetails on my lowest group level, and would like the grouping columns automatically filled.

In 3.0.1.0, when I start typing in the new row within a group, the grouped values automatically appear.

Here is a sample. If I type into Col2 or Col3 on any of the new rows within a group, Col0 and Col1 auto-populate for me.

I group by columns added as a ForeignKeyReference relation. The grouped values does not appear automatically in the new record.

This is currently not supported. I added this to our defect database.

As a work around you can try catching the CurrentRecordContextChanged event and set teh initial values there.

private void gridGroupingControl1_CurrentRecordContextChange(object sender, CurrentRecordContextChangeEventArgs e)
{
	if(e.Record is GridAddNewRecord && e.Action == CurrentRecordAction.BeginEditCalled )
	    Console.WriteLine(e.Record.ToString());
}

One of my problems is that I use a ForeignKeyReference relation that uses 2 relation keys. This means that one key must be set in my parent record previous to selecting a record from the child table. But the CurrentRecordContextChanged event is not fired when clicking on a dropdown...

You can use this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControlCurrentCellShowingDropDown to catch the dropdown being clicked.
