using ENTER key on a caption row

[Eric Weber]

Hi...

I have created an editable cell in a GroupCaptionSummaryCell row. After the user types in a value and hits the ENTER key, the caption row expands/collapses. Is there anyway to disable the expand/collapse behavior when hitting the ENTER key?

Thanks,

Hi Eric,

Try this code to handle the Enter Key behavior in a grid.

//Main Table in a grid
this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.WantEnterKey = false;

//Any tablecontrol in a Grid.
this.grid.GetTableControl("TableName").WantEnterKey = false;

Let me know if this helps.

Best Regards,

I added this code, and it certainly does disable the ENTER button.

Now, after I type a value into the cell and hit the ENTER button, nothing happens. I tried catching the event in the TableControlKeyUp event, but it didn''t fire.

Prior to adding the WantEnterKey code, the enter key was firing the TableControlCurrentCellValidated event, and this is where I had my validation/rollback code.

Any suggestions?

thanks,

Hi Eric,

You can use the TableControlCurrentCellControlKeyMessage event to detect the Enter Key when the currentcell is in EditingMode. Here is a code snippet

//Form load...
this.grid.TableControlCurrentCellControlKeyMessage +=new GridTableControlCurrentCellControlKeyMessageEventHandler(gridControlKeyMessage);

private void gridControlKeyMessage(object sender, GridTableControlCurrentCellControlKeyMessageEventArgs e)
{
Keys keyCode = (Keys)((int)e.Inner.Msg.WParam) & Keys.KeyCode;
if(keyCode == Keys.Enter )
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter Key pressed");
}
}

This event is called from current cell control''''s ProcessKeyMessage method and gives you a chance to modify the default behavior of this method. Be aware that this a very implementation-specific method and you should only handle this event if KeyDown,KeyUp,CurrentCellKeyDown or CurrentCellKeyUP events are not good enough.
