GDBG - No Row Header - No Col Header = No Keyboard Nav

[Roger Peters]

Hi,
When I set the GDBG to show no row headers or column headers, the keyboard navigating functionality is lost. No shift + keys, no keys no nothing. It is vital to my project I have this functionality and it doesn't really make sense to disable it. I do have AllowSelection = Any and also I am using ListBoxSelection = MultiExtended. Attached is an example of what I mean.
Thanks
Roger

Changes were made in the version 4 code to optimize the way hidden rows and columns are being handled. This code change caused a problem when you hide the row/column headers using

Me.GridDataBoundGrid1.Properties.ColHeaders = False
Me.GridDataBoundGrid1.Properties.RowHeaders = False

A work around for a GridControl is to just set grid.ColWidths(0) = 0 and grid.RowHeights(0) = 0 to hide the row and column headers.

In a GridDataBoundGrid though, it requires handling an event on the model to get set the colwidth to zero to hide the row header. If your sample, if you remove the property setting above, but instead subscribe to these two events (using the same handler), the arrow keys work as expected.

   'subscribe to the events in form load
   AddHandler GridDataBoundGrid1.Model.QueryColWidth, AddressOf model_QueryColWidth
   AddHandler GridDataBoundGrid1.Model.QueryRowHeight, AddressOf model_QueryColWidth

'the event handler
    Private Sub model_QueryColWidth(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridRowColSizeEventArgs)
        If e.Index = 0 Then
            e.Size = 0
            e.Handled = True
        End If
    End Sub
