A timer will work. Another way to do it would be to use BeginInvoke to call a method from the Form_Load event so that the code is not executed until after the loading of the form is finished.

Another option would be to use the Form_Activate event and use a flag so that the code only fires once.

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);

}

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 ??

rgd,

try the following code, it helps you enter cell edit mode on mouse click.

Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.

UltraGridBand ultraBand = ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0];

ultraBand.Columns[

"ColumnNameHere"].CellClickAction = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CellClickAction.EditAndSelectText;

ultraBand.Columns[

"ColumnNameHere"].CellActivation = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.Activation.AllowEdit;

This is the complete code ... where should it be if not in FORM_LOAD ?
