CellCombo

[Administrator]

I''m trying to get the following behavior:

In a combobox gridcell, i would like to have the whole text selected when the cell gets the focus.

I did not find the selecAll() method.

Try setting the property, grid.ActivateCurrentCellBehavior, to SelectAll to see if that does what you want.

It does work.

However when i cause to open a form that will display on the grid, it will be sent to back... like if displaying the new form caused some activation of those cell

I am not sure I understand your comment.

If you are somehow redisplaying the grid, try calling grid.Focus() to make sure it has the focus.

I''ll try to be more clear:
I''m using a GridControl and completly reimplemented a FilterBar.

My wish is that when the user clicks in the combocell, the text is automatically selected so that he can type over the current text

With the option you told me it works

However, any window opened over the FilterBar area is automatically sent back.
When deactivating the option no problem.

So, you have coded some kind of FilterBar is a GridControl, and that code is broken when you set the SelectAll setting. Is that the problem?

If it is and you can upload a sample project using your custom code that shows the problem, we can try to suggest some solution.

If it is not, then I am still not clear on what you are doing. Can you upload a sample project showing the problem, or maybe upload some prictures that show the problem.
