cancel event returns cursor to top

[Bernard Herrok]

Hi,

I am trying to simulate readonly property for the griddataboundgrid object.

In the OnCurrentCellActivating i am checking to see if the form is readonly and cancel the request accordingly.

The problem here is, that every time the user scrolls down and then click on any cell, the grid returns to the top.
It doesn''t happen if the scroll horizontally though.

I don''t want to set every cell to readonly, because the grid''s quite large.

Here''s the code i''m using that''s causing the problem (i believe).

Protected Overrides Sub OnCurrentCellActivating(ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridCurrentCellActivatingEventArgs)
If Not mReadOnly Then
MyBase.OnCurrentCellActivating(e)
End If
e.Cancel = mReadOnly

End Sub

Thanks in advanced!

Instead of setting e.Cancel = true, try setting e.ColIndex = 0 to see if that will do what you want.

Clay,

I think you missunderstood what I meant.

All I want the grid to do is ignore the entering of a cell.

Just so it acts like it''s readonly/disabled.

On the onCellActivating event I cancel (e.cancel = true) the user request. This works ok. But the grid then goes to the top, instead of just staying where the user clicked.

If you cancel OnCurrentCellActivating, the focus will not move to the clicked cell.

If you do not want to see the cursor in ths clicked cell, but still let the click cell get focus, then try handling CurrentCellStartEditing, and setting e.Cancel there.
