Hi Atanas,   Thanks for your solution.  I ran your zipped up app. and it is prtty much what I was looking for thank you very very much.  There is one small thing I wanted to ask. Once the row is filled can we move the focus to the new row? Also, the add row seems to contain the last appoinment id, can we also get rid of that?

It seems like in your sample, it is adding a new row.  Not appending to the row you just typed the AppoinmentId in.

I am also adding my databinding process.

I have a model PurchaseAdviceWizardDataView I also have a BindingList<PurchaseAdviceWizardDataView>(); I then do this this.gridLoanResult.SetDataBinding(_context.PurchaseAdviceListView, null);

It seems like unless I do the last line in my case I do not get the result view.

I forgot to add the following:

and what editCell does is it puts the focus on the 3rd col for the active row.  I realized later that I don't need to focus to the new row rather need to focus to the 3rd col of the same row.

 private void FocusCell(int row, int col)

        {

this.grid.ActiveCell = grid.Rows[row].Cells[col];

  this.grid.PerformAction(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode, false, false);

        }

Hello Joy,

I can’t say for sure from the provided code why these empty rows are added to your UltraGrid. But, for the ‘Clean’ method I recommend you instead of going through the list just to delete the last active row. I assume that this row is the empty one. I modify my sample changing my data source to BindingList to be as much as closer to your scenario and I also implement the Clean and FocusCell methods.

I am sending you the modified sample, and you could run and evaluate it, please see attached zip.

If the sample doesn’t help you to fix the issue please modify it to reproduce your issue, so I will be able to investigate this on my side.

I am waiting for your feedback.

Hi Atanas,

Thanks again for your continued support. I think it makes sense to just remove the last active row. It almost seems like the row is getting added by the Ultragird as you start typing to a row and since the its bound to that data and I am gussines it automatically updates it. So, its always in sync with that. It would be great if that worked the other way round, without having to bind it each time. I could be wrong. So, to simplify, since I already know the current index (arow) im just calling the removeat before the add

_context.PurchaseAdviceListView.RemoveAt(currrow);
_context.PurchaseAdviceListView.Add(loandata);

It would be nice to have a replace I suppose.

Since the problem I am having now is, if the row with the same num(id) exists, then instead of add, i need to do update.

So, its like this...

User enters the num(id) in the row[curr].col[0], the system checks if this id exists in the db. it then gets the data and populates the rest of the columns for that same row. OK

User enters another num in the next row, system checks if it exists in the current grid, if it exists then remove the row and don't allow the user to enter another of the same. OK

User updates an existing row, system still finds that the num exists (even though its the same row so its an update) it removes it. So, I guess I need to also check if its the same index or not. What is the best way to do that?

The things get more complicated, because, I have a view which is a subset of another model. Which consists of multiple of those views (grouped by batch). This whole thing is mimicking a wizard like view (with next, previous, add etc).

It would be nice, if I would just display the bigger list and simply group by batch number and when user clicks next it increases the filter and shows the next batch. so the user will feel like they are navigating through batches (shows one batch view each time).

Then I don't need this smaller view model and persisting will be easy.

I also was wondering…

1. How to make the col of a row readonly once it has been populated from db or other means.  This may prevent the issue where once they have entered a num the system will not want to search for that num again.  And then I can just update the data when its coming from the same row from rest of the columns… not sure if that make sense.
2. When I tab off from row I want to persist the data to another model. What event should be ideal?

 Thanks again.

Hi Atanas,

Thanks so much for your reply.  I will give a details reply.  But, for now I wanted to let you know that you are absolutey correct about the binding.  However, I think the updated data is not available (or does not bing with the source) during keydown event.  Am I wrong?

this.ultraCombo1.SyncWithCurrencyManager = true;

Hi Atanas,

Hope you are doing well.

I am trying to use UltraCombo, which i believe is a part of the grid family.  When I used a regular windows combobox I was able to bind it with a BindingList.  I also bound few other text controls with that and when I selected new values in the regular combobox it also changed all the values in all other controls that were bound to the same BindingList.

But, when I used the UltraCombo (with multicolums) selecting a row does not change the other controls.  What is the way to achive this with UltraCombo?

Hello Joy,

Thanks for the reply.

Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Hi Atanas,

Sorry for the long delay.  I have been away and just getting back.  I think for what you have given me enough to solve the issues I had.  I will surely post any updates I may have.  Your informations greatly helped.

Thanks again.

Hello Joy,
