F2 sets cell in editmode despite Readonly=true

[Administrator]

I''ve set the readonly property on the tablestyle.
and set ActivateCurrentCellBehavior = GridCellActivateAction.None.

However, when I press F2, the current cell goes into editmode (shows caret). It does not allow actually changing the cell contents though.

Is there any way to prevent the caret from showing in this case?

Thanks

Hi Palmer,

In the CurrentCellKeyDown event handler, check for e.KeyCode to be F2 and handle the event by setting e.Handled to true. This will help you.

// CurrentCellKeyDown_Event
if( e.KeyCode == Keys.F2 )
{
e.Handled = true;
}

That works.

Can you log this as a bug in the "TextBox" cell type?
There''s no reason for the cell to go in editmode in this situation.

Hi Palmer,

This is the default behavior. When you press F2, BeginEdit() method is called, which causes the caret to go inside the cell. Instead of setting the ReadOny property to true, set the celltype to Static for all the grid cells.

this.gridControl1.TableStyle.CellType = "Static";

Thanks,

Hi Rajagopal,

Surely the default behaviour doesn''t make sense in this case?

If the cell is readonly its contents can''t be changed so why set the caret in that case, it only confuses the end user.

If you don''t want to call it a bug, can you then log it as a feature request?

Thanks for your patience.
