setting focus to a GGC new record cell

[Eric Weber]

When my form opens, I want to set focus to a specific cell in a GGC. The cell is located in the GridAddNewRecord row. How do I do this?

When the form opens, I want the user to just be able to start typing into the cell.

thanks!

Hi Eric,

You can set focus to a particular cell by moving the focus to the required cell. you can achieve this by using MoveTo method in Form_Load Event. Here is the code snippet.

	this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(3,1,GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus);

thanks!

The cells in this grid require a double click to activate them.

After incorporating your code, I can see a box around the cell (indicating that it has focus), but when I type nothing happens.

I''ve added the following lines of code, but with no luck...

this.TableControl.CurrentCell.ActivateOnGotFocus = true;
this.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(2,4,GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus);
this.TableControl.CurrentCell.Activate(2,4,GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus);

Hi Eric,

That works as expected, typing initially enters the text in the add new record field. Try BeginEdit to see if that helps.

this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.BeginEdit();

Best regards,
