hello arun,

i have used the above coding with a little alteration.

        e.RaiseErrorEvent = False

      e.RestoreOriginalValue = False

        e.StayInEditMode = True

 In the above case e.StayInEditMode is Not Working in a proper way,  since if we click buttons then the cursor leaves from the cell and switches to button events.

Is there any other way to get rid of the above issue?

 Regards

Hi Janani,

I tried this out and I see that if I click on a button, the Button_Click event does fire, but I still see a blinking caret in the cell. So the cell is still in edit mode and that seems like it's working correctly.

Having a cell in edit mode doesn't necessarily prevent the grid from losing focus. If that's what you want, I think you would have to handle the Validating event of the grid, also.

For example, you could do something like this:

    Private Sub UltraGrid1_Validating(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles UltraGrid1.Validating
        Dim success As Boolean = Me.UltraGrid1.PerformAction(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridAction.ExitEditMode, False, False)
        If (Not success) Then
            e.Cancel = True
        End If
    End Sub

I tried this out and it worked fine for me. The Button_Click does not get fired because the grid maintains the focus. The button therefore never gets focus and the click event does not fire.

Are you using a Button control, or some other kind of button that doesn't need focus, like a toolbar button? If you are using a Toolbar button, then there is no way to stop that event from firing no matter what control you are validating, since a Toolbar button does not require focus.

Even using Grid_validating event , Button Click events getting executed.
