Custom RadGrid and skins / Special key press catch

[Court Philippe]

Hello,

I have togive a custom behaviour to a RadGridView on the Delete or Up/Down key press.

Unfortunately, the RadGrid KeyPress doesn’t risen by the special keys.

So the only way I find to catch those keys press is to override the IsInputkey function so tomake my own control witch extends from the telerik radGrid.

public class CtrlRadGrid : Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadGridView

    {

        public CtrlRadGrid()

            :base(){}

        public delegate void InputKeyEvent(Keys keyData);

        public event InputKeyEvent InputKeyOccurs = null;

        protected override bool IsInputKey(KeyskeyData)

        {

            if (InputKeyOccurs != null)

            {

InputKeyOccurs(keyData);

            }

            return base.IsInputKey(keyData);

        }

}

All works great, my event is raised by all the keys, and all the grid keep isfunctionality… except the skin…

I think that there must be a control on the name of the class…

So is there a simple way to apply the skin on my own control witch extends from radGrid?

Is there a simple way to catch the keyPress from special keys?

Hi Court Philippe,

Yes, you have to override ThemeClassName property in this case. Please consider the sample below:

public class CtrlRadGrid : RadGridView
{
    public override string ThemeClassName
    {
        get { return typeof(RadGridView).FullName; }
        set {}
    }
}

All the best,
