Avoiding RadDiagramShape being deleted

[Deepak Shakya]

Hi,

The EditTemplate of the Shape has a textbox. When I deleted the data in the textbox and by chance the user presses the delete one more time, the shape get the focus and is deleted. This is nuisance when the Edit template contains more than one textboxes and the rest of the data has been filled.

How do we avoid the shape being deleted when editing the data? Is there a way so that the focus remains in the textbox even when there is no data?

The sample (DiagramsMvvmSample) can be downloaded from my skydrive

Cheers
Deepak

Hi Deepak,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. I investigated it and I can confirm that this is a bug, which I logged in our PITS. Also I updated you Telerik's points accordingly.

Until a fix is provided I can suggest you a workaround - you can handle the KeyDown event for the TextBox in the ShapeEditTemplate and check if the pressed key is Delete and if the TextBox's text is empty. If both conditions are fulfilled you have to handle the event. Here is a snippet ot the code I used for this approach:

private void TextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Key.Equals(Key.Delete) && (sender as TextBox).Text == String.Empty)
    {
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

Please give this workaround a try and let us know if it works for you.

All the best,
Stefan
