The UltraComboEditor [in edit mode] supports Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+Z but ignores Ctrl+A.
The default context menu however includes 'Select All' so I would expect it to support Ctrl+A.
Is this a bug or is there a good reason why it does not support that shortcut?
ThanksMike
Hi Mike,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics Developer Support.
The UltraComboEditor does support Ctrl+A. I tested it using v13.2.20132.2023 and this functionality works properly for me, pressing the Ctrl+A selects the whole text. Could you please let me know exactly which version of Infragistics you are using? I have attached my sample, please modify it so it reproduces your issue and I will be glad to research your issue further.
I am looking forward to your reply.
I am using the slightly older version 13.2.20132.1011, but your sample works with that version also.
I suspect that the problem is related to the fact that Ctrl+A is also defined as a shortcut for the application's Ultra toolbar.
Past experience has shown me that the toolbar sometimes grabs shortcuts that I was not expecting it to grab.On further examination I find that it is not only the combo box that exhibits this issue. All the other 'ultra' editors I use on my modal and modeless dialogs also ignore the Ctrl+A shortcut, even though their context menus 'Select All' items work.(They don't just ignore the shortcut - the app 'beeps' when I type it.)
Strangely, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V work fine for all controls - and those are also assigned to the toolbar.
