How do I move a cursor in a current cell.

[Kwabena Manu]

I have a text in a cell and I want to be able to move the cursor before or after any of the letters so that I can enter my new letters from the cursor position.

Thanks

Hi Kwabena,

You can access the GridTextBoxCellRenderer and can use SelectionStart property of TextBox to set starting point of text selected in the cell.

this.grid.Focus();
this.grid.CurrentCell.BeginEdit();
GridTextBoxCellRenderer render = this.grid.CurrentCell.Renderer as GridTextBoxCellRenderer;
if( render != null)
{
render.TextBox.SelectionStart = 5;
render.TextBox.SelectionLength = 1;
}

Let me know if this helps.
