Date and Calculator with alternate hotkey

[A-Telerik-User]

Good day,

The little calendar could be activated/popup with hotkey F4 for GridViewDatetimeColumn and the calculator for GridViewCalculatorColumn. Is this hotkey changeable, said change to F2 to bring up these?

Hello,  

Indeed, by default, pressing F4 while RadCalculatorEditor is active, will show the popup calendar. In order to prevent this when pressing F4 and execute the same logic after F2 is pressed, you can refer to the following code snippet:

public RadForm1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    GridViewCalculatorColumn column = new GridViewCalculatorColumn("Calculator column");
    this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

    this.radGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill;

    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(3.14159);
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(2.71828);
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(1.41421);
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(0.57721);
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(4.66920);
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(3.27582);
    this.radGridView1.Rows.Add(0.56714);

    this.radGridView1.CellEditorInitialized += radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized;
}

private void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    RadCalculatorEditor calcEditor = e.ActiveEditor as RadCalculatorEditor;
    if (calcEditor != null)
    {
        RadCalculatorEditorElement el = calcEditor.EditorElement as RadCalculatorEditorElement;

        el.EditorContentElement.TextBoxItem.PreviewKeyDown -= TextBoxItem_PreviewKeyDown;
        el.EditorContentElement.TextBoxItem.PreviewKeyDown += TextBoxItem_PreviewKeyDown;

        el.PopupOpening -= el_PopupOpening;
        el.PopupOpening += el_PopupOpening;
    }
}

private void el_PopupOpening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = cancel;
    cancel = false;
}

bool cancel = false;

private void TextBoxItem_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.KeyData == Keys.F4)
    {
        cancel = true;
    }
    else if (e.KeyData == Keys.F2)
    {
        RadCalculatorEditor calcEditor = this.radGridView1.ActiveEditor as RadCalculatorEditor;
        RadCalculatorEditorElement el = calcEditor.EditorElement as RadCalculatorEditorElement;
        el.ShowPopup();
    }
}

Feel free to use a similar approach for the date time column as well.
 
I hope this information helps.

Thanks for the solution. 

Beside i have found an alternative with the RadShortcut which i could apply to columns' calculator and calendar popup.
