Append text

[Nazim YENIER]

I have a simple question for which I don't find the answer:

How to append text inside the essential grid in a specific cell ?

When we are typing a cell; how to get the cursor position ? How to append text at the cursor position ?

Thanks

This task is not necessarily simple because the TextBox is only available as the cell is actively being edited. So, this code only applies to a TextBox CellType, and only if the cell is being actively edited.

            GridCurrentCell cc = gridControl1.CurrentCell; // or  this.gridDataControl1.Model.Views.First().CurrentCell;
            GridCellTextBoxRenderer renderer = cc.Renderer as GridCellTextBoxRenderer;
            if (renderer != null)
            {
                TextBox tb = renderer.CurrentCellUIElement as TextBox;
                if (tb != null)
                {
                    //set 'Apple' into the text
                    renderer.ControlText = "Apple";
                    //this code puts the cursor after the last 'p'
                    tb.SelectionStart = 3;
                    tb.SelectionLength = 0;
                    //insert 'xx' after last p
                    tb.SelectedText = "xx";
                }
            }
