We have users who are very familiar with Excel. I would like to start moving them toward an application for their UI, because it gives me so much more control to develop the functionality behind the data. However, that will be a challenge due to their love of Excel. Are there some samples that I can refer to that make the xamDataGrid look and feel as much like Excel as possible? Specifically I'm thinking of the navigation (arrows, [Home], [End], etc.), data entry, adding records, etc., etc. The closer I can make it to Excel in all regards, the better it will be.
Thanks!
Brad.
Hello Brad,
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I can suggest you see this forum thread:

where a similar question is already answered. Please let me know if you have further questions on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
That helps, but there are still a number of issues. The left and right arrow keys still don't work exactly as in Excel. How about adding a new row when I hit the down arrow on or tab past the end of the last row? What about [Home], [End], [Page Up] and [Page Down]? Obviously I could capture and deal with all of these, but it would be much nicer if there were simply a setting of some kind that says "act like Excel". I know, that may be asking too much, but....
