Query
Select all the text in a cell when the user is editing a cell and presses Ctrl+A
Solution - 1
The reported scenario can be achieved by setting the CellType as OriginalTextBox. Please make use of below code,
Code snippet
this.gridControl1.TableStyle.CellType = GridCellTypeName.OriginalTextBox;
Solution – 2
You can also handle the CurrentCellKeyDown event to achieve the reported scenario. Please make use of below code,
Code snippet
this.gridControl1.CurrentCellKeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(gridControl1_CurrentCellKeyPress);
void gridControl1_CurrentCellKeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
if (((Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Control) != Keys.None) && char.IsLetter('A'))
{
if (this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.IsEditing)
{
GridTextBoxCellRenderer renderer = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.Renderer as GridTextBoxCellRenderer;
renderer.TextBox.SelectAll();
}
}
}
