Delete cell data / delete row

[Lasse]

Hi,

I want to be able to delete cell data when I hit delete button when the cell only are focused but not in edit mode.
Right now the hole row are deleted. I also want to be able to delete the row, but this should only happen when I have selected the hole row. How can i achieve this kind of functionality?

Hello Svein,

Thank you for writing.

Your scenario is possible by creating a custom GridDataRowBehavior and override the ProcessDeleteKey method:

class CustomRowBehavior : GridDataRowBehavior
{
    protected override bool ProcessDeleteKey(KeyEventArgs keys)
    {
        this.GridControl.CurrentCell.Value = null;
        return true;
    }
}

Then in RadGridView, unregister the default behavior and register yours:

BaseGridBehavior currentBehavior = radGridView1.GridBehavior as BaseGridBehavior;
currentBehavior.UnregisterBehavior(typeof(GridViewDataRowInfo));
currentBehavior.RegisterBehavior(typeof(GridViewDataRowInfo), new CustomRowBehavior());

The above implementation will set the CurrentCell value to null, when the Delete key is pressed. However, I am not quite sure how would you recognize when a row is fully selected in order to delete a row and when just a cell is selected in order to delete the cell value. Please provide me with the exact end-user scenario of selecting a whole row vs. selecting just a cell, so I can help you with the implementation of this behavior.

I am looking forward to your reply.

All the best,
