Hi,

I want to be able to allow a user to press a key on the grid and forward the key press to the cell that contains a drop down/drop down list.  On doing this I want it to automatically select the first entry that matches.  Is there any way to do this?

I set grid to only select a cell when it is clicked in InitializeLayout as follows:

.Layout.Override.CellClickAction = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CellClickAction.CellSelect

I am currently only doing this for a text box as Boris has suggested in a previous post, but I thought I'd start a new thread for this one as it is slightly different.

I have the following to allow this for a text box.

Private fired As Boolean = False
    Private keyPressed As String = String.Empty
 
    Private Sub MyGrid_KeyUp(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles ui_ugWelds.KeyUp
        With MyGrid
            If .ActiveCell.IsInEditMode And (e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Return) Then
                .PerformAction(UltraWinGrid.UltraGridAction.ExitEditMode, False, False)
 
            ElseIf Not .ActiveCell.IsInEditMode And UIHelper.IsValidEditorCharacter(e) Then
                keyPressed = UIHelper.GetChar(e)
                fired = True
                .PerformAction(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode)
 
            ElseIf e.KeyCode = Keys.Escape Then
                .ActiveCell.Value = .ActiveCell.OriginalValue
                .PerformAction(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridAction.UndoCell)
            End If
        End With
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub MyGrid_AfterEnterEditMode(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles ui_ugWelds.AfterEnterEditMode
        If fired Then
            With MyGrid
                If Not .ActiveCell.EditorResolved.SupportsDropDown Then
                    .ActiveCell.Value = keyPressed
                    If .ActiveCell.Value IsNot Nothing AndAlso .ActiveCell.EditorResolved.SupportsSelectableText Then
                        .ActiveCell.SelStart = .ActiveCell.Value.ToString().Length
                    End If
                End If
            End With
        End If
        fired = False
    End Sub 

Thanks
