strange text box ext behavior

Hi,
When I'm entering text into a text box and I hit the space bar, the cursor goes back to the beginning of the text string (as if I hit the 'Home' button) - How can I avoid this? I just want to keep typing forward.

Thanks,
Dimitri

Hi Dimitri,

You can handle the CurrentCellKeyPress event and cancel it by setting the e.Handled to true when the 'SpaceBar' is pressed. Here is a code snippet.

void gridControl1_CurrentCellKeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if ((int)e.KeyChar == 32)
{
GridCurrentCell cc = (sender as GridControl).CurrentCell;
GridTextBoxCellRenderer cr = cc.Renderer as GridTextBoxCellRenderer;
cr.ControlText += " ";
cr.TextBox.SelectionLength = 0;
cr.TextBox.SelectionStart = cr.TextBox.Text.Length - 1;
e.Handled = true;
}
}

Best regards,
Haneef

Hi, thanks,

This is for a text box, not a grid cell - does it still apply?

Thanks,

Hi Haneef,
No - I mean a regular text box ext that I dragged onto a form - not a grid.

Thanks,

Haneef,
Also, if I try to put this handler on my grid (whose cell changes are reflected in the text box), I get this error:

Error 8 'Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.Grouping.GridTableControlKeyPressEventArgs' does not contain a definition for 'KeyChar'

Hi,

You can use the e.Inner.KeyChar to access the KeyChar from GridTableControlKeyPressEventArgs.
