Ampersands in RadGridView (Windows)

[Nordy]

The data that is being bound to the RadGridView control in my WinForms app has ampersands in it, and the are being changed to underscores per the normal Windows hot key marking scheme (i.e. &File results in File, with the F underlined).  Can this be shut off?  Or do I need to handle each row as it's inserted?

Thanks.

Hi Jamie,

Thank you for writing. We are aware of this issue and apologize for not having a solution for you yet. The problem will be addressed in our upcoming release later this month.

As a temporary solution I would suggest using the CellFormatting event and changing manually the PaintTextFormat property.

Refer to the code snippet below:

this.radGridView1.CellFormatting +=new CellFormattingEventHandler(radGridView1_CellFormatting);
void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    e.CellElement.PaintTextFormat.HotkeyPrefix = HotkeyPrefix.None;
 }

In case you need additional assistance, we will be glad to help you.

 
Best wishes,
Jack
