It happens only for column, I set property CellMultiLine = True. When I change it to false the text does not disappear when I type pretty fast. However I can see the delay to display  my input in the textbox.

I have quite a lot of columns for this grid. I am not sure this cause the problem.

AutoSuggestMode is a new property which replaces the AutoEdit property.

Try setting AutoEdit or CellMultiline to False and the problem should go away.

I try that still have problem.

Another problem I run into with grid when I drag grid to left or right, it mess up the display. Text in column get mess up.  But If I use left arrow or right arrow to move grid to left or right, it is ok

I don't know of any other reason that would explain the behavior you describe. Can you post a small sample project demonstrating the issue?

I don't understand what you mean by this. What do you mean "drag the grid to left or right?" There is nothing in the WinGrid that would allow you to drag the control.

And what exactly do you mean by "column get messed up"?

Here is example of the edit column I have problem.

Below are property I set for this column

ultraGridColumn13.AutoEdit =

false;

ultraGridColumn13.AutoSizeEdit = Infragistics.Win.

DefaultableBoolean.False;

ultraGridColumn13.ButtonDisplayStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.

ButtonDisplayStyle.Always;

ultraGridColumn13.CellClickAction = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CellClickAction.Edit;

ultraGridColumn13.CellDisplayStyle = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.

CellDisplayStyle.PlainText;

ultraGridColumn13.CellMultiLine = Infragistics.Win.

DefaultableBoolean.True;

ultraGridColumn13.CharacterCasing = System.Windows.Forms.

CharacterCasing.Upper;

ultraGridColumn13.Header.Caption =

"Catalog Desc.";

ultraGridColumn13.Header.VisiblePosition = 24;

ultraGridColumn13.MaxLength = 255;

this.ultraSpellChecker1;

I don't see anything here which attaches a dropdown list (ValueList) to this column. But if you are using a dropdown list on the column, then you should not also set CellMultiLine to true.

Mike,

How do set spell check when it leaves edit Cell.

Example I have description columns on grid that allows users to edit. But I don't want spell check take place while they type. I want spell check trigger when it leaves the cell. I got it worked before but forgot.

Thanks

Hi John,

There is no reason why typing fast should have any effect. Like I said, I'm a very fast typist and the grid has no problem whatsoever keeping up with me.

If there is some kind of delay, then my best guess is that something in your code is causing it.

What events of the grid are you handling? Try commenting them out temporarily to see if that solves the issue.

Another thing you might try is - set the Visual Studio IDE to break on all run-time Exceptions. Perhaps there are exceptions occurring as you type that are being caught and handled and these are what is causing the delay.

There is no dropdown list bind to the grid. Grid just bind to datasource. In the grid I have  few edit columns. All it does it allow users to select a row to edit some column and click submit.

The problem occurs when users type fast to edit column, there will be a delay for the text to display. This becomes very big problem to our users. We may need to drop this tool and use something else.

Thanks

John
