Key Events

Hi,

I'm using Syncfusion 4.3.0.30 windows.forms Grid Control in virtual mode.

I want to suppress certain key events triggered by the user (e.g. CTRL + X, CTRL + V, CTRL + Z, DELETE, etc.) if the grid isn't in editing state or the selected cell is readonly or static. Suggestions?

Thanks

Yours

I think you can use grid.CurrentCellKeyDown to get this behavior. Here is the idea.

//subcribe to the event
this.gridControl1.CurrentCellKeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(gridControl1_CurrentCellKeyDown);


//the handler code
void gridControl1_CurrentCellKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
GridControl grid = sender as GridControl;
if (grid != null && !grid.CurrentCell.IsEditing)
{
if (e.Control)
{
switch (e.KeyCode)
{
case Keys.V:
case Keys.C:
case Keys.X:
e.Handled = true;
break;
default:
break;
}
}
else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Delete)
{
e.Handled = true;
}
}
}


Thanks.
