I have been searching the forums, in particular this post, for an answer, but I have missed it. I have also been playing with as many settings and events as I can think of to be relevant, but none have nailed what I need.
The situation: UltraGrid with a column that has an Editor of type UltraTextEditor, which itself has an UltraDropDownButton in its ButtonsRight collection that drops down a custom control.
When the user clicks in the cell (the text portion, not the drop down button portion), it goes into edit mode and the user can type in the text. What I want is to have the drop down button actually drop down as though it were clicked when the user clicks *anywhere* in the cell.
I feel like this is straightforward, but that I am missing something. Please advise.
Thanks,
J
Hi,
Do you want the cell to enter edit mode so the user can type, in addition to automatically dropping down? Or do you want it to act like a DropDownList cell where the user had to pick from the list and cannot type?
Hey Mike,
Sorry for not being more specific, I want it to act like a DropDownList cell where the control in the dropdownbutton drops down no matter where the user clicks. I do not want the cursor to ever activate inside the text.
I have tried column settings for cell activation, click style, style, and others I can't think of. Also, events like BeforeEnterEditMode (can't drop down the control because the editor isn't in edit mode yet), AfterEnterEditMode (doesn't seem to work), and others. I feel like I am just missing it.
