hi,

why a string like "Pit\tStrip\tBlock" doesn''t display as Pit Strip Block. In grid the character "\t" (tab) is displayed as square...

Hi Akmal,

I have tested this issue by creating a sample using GridControl in v.4.1.0.50 and then again tested by upgrading to 4.1.0.62. I was not able to reproduce the issue.If you can provide more information, we can try to suggest some solution.

Here is a sample.

Could you please run this at your end and let me know how it goes?

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Akmal,

The CellType = "OriginalTextBox" is derived from System.Windows.Forms.TextBox. which does not have a escape sequence character.If you want to support the escape sequence character, you need to set the grid''s AllowEnter property to true.Here is a code snippet

this.gridControl1[1,1].CellType = "OriginalTextBox";
this.gridControl1[1,1].Text = "Pit\tStrip\tBlock";
this.gridControl1.ColWidths[1] = 400;
this.gridControl1[1,1].AllowEnter = true;

Let me know if this helps.

it still doesn''t work.

the string comes from a file

e.g:
StringCollection filePreview = new StringCollection();
FileStream fileStream = new System.IO.FileStream("@C:\sample.txt", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, System.IO.FileShare.ReadWrite);

sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(fileStream);
string currentLine = sr.ReadLine();
filePreview.Add(currentLine);

//=======================
in queryCellInfo.

e.Style.CellValue = filePreview[index];

Hi Akmal,

The Reason is that you are ignoring the escape sequence character in a text file(writing the "\t" instead pressing Tab key").You need to enable the escape sequence by using this code.Here is a code snippet.

filePreview.Add(currentLine.Replace(@"\t","\t"));
//or
e.Style.Text = filePreview[0].ToString().Replace(@"\t","\t");

Please let me know if this helps.

i''d tried it before, it still doesn''t help..
u can try with both file (wring \t and pressing tab key). Can u give me example that showing \t character properly? besides that, if u double click the cell, the \t is displayed nicely intead displaying square.

Hi Akmal,

We tried to reproduce this issue in 4.1, but could not get this issue. Maybe I am not following the steps that you are doing. Attached sample working fine here. Can you post a small sample showing this problem or tell us how to see it in the Attached sample?

Here is a sample.

Hi sorry for the issue that have been raised,

actually the grid i''m working on is a grid which is have been inherited from GridControl, After doing comparison between both grid, i notice grid control display the "\t properly and the ours (inherited) does not.

thanks for your support
