Hi Mike!

I've already tried that, by switching the lines like this ... but it still won't enter EDIT-MODE
( the cell is correcty selected and everything but I have to CLICK IT so I can actually write any text inside the cell )

This is my code - it's NOT working:

if

(changes.Count > 0)

{

_ugFinishDateChanges.Selected.Rows.Clear();

_ugFinishDateChanges.Selected.Rows.Add(_ugFinishDateChanges.Rows[0]);

_ugFinishDateChanges.Focus();

_ugFinishDateChanges.ActiveRow = _ugFinishDateChanges.Rows[0];

];

_ugFinishDateChanges.PerformAction(

.EnterEditMode);

//hvernig set g fkusinn "ReasonForChange" celluna ????

Hi !

It works OK to enter edit mode by CLICKING in the cell ... it has always worked, and that's not the problem

But I want the cell to START in edit-mode when I open up the form ( another form opens this form )

So that's why I put the code in FORM_LOAD .... how I can I make the cell START in edit-mode, right upon the loading of the form ??

Alright, as Mike said – it is not possible to set focus on a control on form load – the only solution left is to use a timer with an interval of 100 and call a method that make the cell enter edit mode so users can just type in without the mouse click.

I have prepared the following code for you and it worked.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

   timer1.Start();

}

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    timer1.Stop();

    EnterEditMode();

}

private void EnterEditMode() 

{

this.ultraGrid1.Focus();

this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Activation =     Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.Activation.AllowEdit;

this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Activate();

UIElement uiElement = this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].GetUIElement();

EmbeddableUIElementBase embeddableElement = uiElement.GetDescendant(typeof(EmbeddableUIElementBase)) as EmbeddableUIElementBase;

            this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].EditorResolved.EnterEditMode(embeddableElement);

}

How does that look in VB ?

Could you be more specific? This is a 6-year-old thread with a lot of different code in it for various things. So I don't understand what you are asking. 

Hi Mike

I was refering to this:

private void EnterEditMode() 

{

this.ultraGrid1.Focus();

this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Activation =    Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.Activation.AllowEdit;

this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Activate();

UIElement uiElement =this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].GetUIElement();

EmbeddableUIElementBase embeddableElement = uiElement.GetDescendant(typeof(EmbeddableUIElementBase)) asEmbeddableUIElementBase;

           this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].EditorResolved.EnterEditMode(embeddableElement);

}
