Alt + ?

[Andrés David Santacoloma Isaza]

Hello:
I have a problem when I want press the key "Alt" + some number.
example: Alt+64 = @
When I press the key "Alt", my textbox lost the focus and I can't place the simbol.
I have in my form a radribbonbar and when I press this key, the focus is placed here.

what's the solution?
thanks

Are you handling anything else on KeyDown or KeyPress? I have placed a textbox on a form and I can add the @ symbol to the textbox after placing focus on it

Hello:
I think the problem is with the RadRibbonBar, because when I press "Alt" the focus is there, but I don't know control it.
the idea is when i press and release "alt", the focus placed in RadRibbonBar, but when i press "Alt" and with out release it press an ascii code, for example 64 (@), it don't lost the focus.
the text editors work so, for example office word, the textbox in web pages, this box, and I want my textbox work so too.

solution it is very important for me, please answer this issue.
Thanks

It seems that you're right. I think this is a bug that you cannot use the ALT key in conjunction with the other keys in a textbox when a RadRibbonBar is on the form.

Hello guys,

I confirm the focus issue. It will be addressed in one of our next releases. However, I cannot provide you with a workaround for the time being. Andreas, your Telerik points have been updated for the feedback.

Kind regards,

Is this issue has been resolved?

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for replying.

The issue has not been resolved. I have logged it in our Feedback portal and you can find it on the following address: UI for Winforms Feedback Portal - FIX. RadRibbonBar - Pressing the alt key takes away the focus from the other controls. Feel free to add your votes or comments. As a workaround for the time being you can use the following classes:

public class MyRadRibbonBar : RadRibbonBar
{
    protected override ComponentInputBehavior CreateBehavior()
    {
        return new MyRibbonBarInputBehavior(this);
    }

    public override string ThemeClassName
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof(RadRibbonBar).FullName;
        }
        set
        {
        }
    }
}

class MyRibbonBarInputBehavior : RadRibbonBar.RibbonBarInputBehavior
{
    public MyRibbonBarInputBehavior(RadRibbonBar owner)
        : base(owner)
    {
    }

    protected override bool SetInternalKeyMapFocus()
    {
        if ((this.Owner as RadRibbonBar).ContainsFocus)
        {
            return base.SetInternalKeyMapFocus();
        }

        return false;
    }
}

Let me know if you have further questions.
