Cell KeyPress

[gabi]

I use your RadGridView with some GridViewMaskBoxColumn. The GridViewMaskBoxColumn is in masktype numeric with mask=f3.
I want to use the cells keypress event so if i press comma then the cursor jumps after the comma. But i cant find any keypress event for cells, any idea how could i make that work?

I have find a sollution.

Private Sub GridView_CellEditorInitialized(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs) Handles Me.CellEditorInitialized
        If Me.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).GetType.Name = "UniqeName" And TryCast(Me.Columns(e.ColumnIndex), WindowsControlLibrary1.MaskedBoxColumn).MaskType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.MaskType.Numeric Then
            Dim editor As Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadMaskedEditBoxEditor = TryCast(Me.ActiveEditor, Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadMaskedEditBoxEditor)
            Dim oszlop As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewMaskBoxColumn = TryCast(Me.CurrentColumn, Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewMaskBoxColumn)
            If editor IsNot Nothing And oszlop IsNot Nothing Then
                Dim editorElement As Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadMaskedEditBoxItem = TryCast(editor.EditorElement, Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadMaskedEditBoxItem)

                RemoveHandler editorElement.KeyPress, AddressOf CellaKeyPress
                AddHandler editorElement.KeyPress, AddressOf CellaKeyPress
                'editorElement.KeyPressEvent -= New KeyPressEventHandler(Me.CellaKeyPress)
                'editorElement.KeyPressEvent += New KeyPressEventHandler(Me.CellaKeyPress)
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

then we can use our cellKeyPress event

Private Sub CellaKeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs)

    End Sub

Hello gabi,

You can also add handling of the "comma" key by creating a custom RadMaskedEditBoxEditor and use it instead of the default one. You can do it as it is shown below:

1. Specify that RadGridView will use the custom RadMaskedEditBoxEditor:

this.radGridView1.EditorRequired += new EditorRequiredEventHandler(radGridView1_EditorRequired);

private void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.EditorType == typeof(RadMaskedEditBoxEditor))
        e.EditorType = typeof(CustomRadMaskedEditBoxEditor);
}

2. Implement the CustomRadMaskedEditBoxEditor, derived from RadMaskedEditBoxEditor and override BeginEdit() and EndEdit(). You can add an additional handler for the KeyDown event of the RadMaskedEditBoxEditor's RadMaskTextBox and implement the necessary logic in it:

public class CustomRadMaskedEditBoxEditor : RadMaskedEditBoxEditor
{
    private string[] separators = new string[] { ".", "," };

    public override void BeginEdit()
    {
        base.MaskTextBox.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(MaskTextBox_KeyDown);
        base.BeginEdit();
    }

    public override bool EndEdit()
    {
        base.MaskTextBox.KeyDown -= new KeyEventHandler(MaskTextBox_KeyDown);
        return base.EndEdit();
    }

    private void MaskTextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.KeyValue == 190 || e.KeyValue == 188 || e.KeyValue == 110)
        {
            int pointPosition = -1;
            for (int i = 0; i < base.MaskTextBox.TextLength; i++)
            {
                foreach (string separator in separators)
                {
                    if (base.MaskTextBox.Text[i].ToString().Equals(separator))
                    {
                        pointPosition = i;
                        break;
                    }
                }
            }

            if (pointPosition > -1 && pointPosition + 1 < base.MaskTextBox.TextLength)
            {
                base.MaskTextBox.SelectionStart = pointPosition + 1;
            }
        }
    }
}
