Hello,

I am checking about the progress of this issue. Please let me know If you need any further assistance on this.

Hello,

It would be great if you could send a sample solution which reproduces the undesired behavior. Also, could you please let me know of your exact version of Net Advantage controls?

Thank you in advance. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any additional assistance.

Boris,

I think I know what the other user's issue is.  It is not that you cannot see the cursor, but if the previous time thru this control you hand keyed in a date, it does not do a select all when tabbing into the control on the next pass.  I had our QA dept report this and proved it.  I am uploading a sample that shows the issue.  Simply tab thru all controls a couple of times.  You will see the select all happening on the datatimeeditor.  Then select a different date, using the date selector.  Tab thru a few times and you see the select all still works.  Now hand key in a date, say 01012012.  Then tab thru again.  You will see that the cursor is placed after the last character of the date.  If you do not look close enough, it looks like the cursor is lost, but what I detailed above is actually the case.  Let me know if I need to open a support ticket for this, or if you just want to send it over yourself.

Hello,
I am not getting this behavior with your sample and the mentioned version. Could you please provide a sample video with the steps for me? Thank you in advance.

Thank You very much for your help. I leave this issue in standby because I had other priorities, but you solved my problems.

I used this:

private void ultraDateTimeEditor1_AfterEnterEditMode(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    // Whole text will be selected

    ultraDateTimeEditor1.Editor.SelectAll();

}

THANKS A LOT, TO ALL OF YOU!!

Hi,

If you want you could check what is the default behavior of Microsoft controls. I made a tests with Microsoft`s controls  DateTimePicker and NumericUpDown and these controls has the same behavior like Infragistics controls. If you want to achieve desired behavior you could try to implement my suggestion from previous post,

Let me know if you have any questions

By the way, I validated my statements running thru MS Office options in Outlook and Word.  Regardless of the user manually editing a value, tabbing thru and returning to that field is results in all of the text being selected.

I do not agree that this should be by design behavior.  If you look at MS apps, the behavior when tabbing around thru options, etc. is to always select all when entering.  Since MS is the developer and basic keeper of Windows Forms apps, I would say that is then what the standard behavior should be.  As such Infragistics should have that behavior in it's tools as the default and anything else should have to have special code.  Basically, I should not have to code your first example.  I should only have to use your second example if I do not want the Windows Forms standard behavior.  My opinion this is a bug with Infragistics tools and needs to be addressed.

Hello Btesch,

Thanks for attached sample and video file. I`d like to inform you that mentined behavior is expected and by design. The same behavior you could find in all other Infragistic`s controls (for example: UltraTextEditor, UltraNumericEditor and so on).

It is not clear for me what is your final goal, but is you want to keep all text selected, nevertheless how you choose / write the date (see screnshot 1), then you could used the code below:

private void ultraDateTimeEditor1_AfterEnterEditMode(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    // Whole text will be selected

    ultraDateTimeEditor1.Editor.SelectAll();

}

If you want to have a cursor at the last character, without any selected text (see screnshot 2), then you could used the code below:

private void ultraDateTimeEditor1_AfterEnterEditMode(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

    //by this way the cursor will be the last character

    ultraDateTimeEditor1.Editor.SelectionStart = 10;

}
