dont allow spaces

[Jay]

I hope this is simple, how can I edit a cell to not allow spaces.  The cell is required, and if I hit the spacebar and then enter it accepts it. This is what I have to edit it right now:

 

private void StateRadGridView1_CellValidating(object sender, CellValidatingEventArgs e)

 

{

 

GridViewDataColumn column = e.Column as GridViewDataColumn;

 

 

if (e.Row is GridViewDataRowInfo && column != null && column.FieldName == "MntStaName")

 

{

 

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty((string)e.Value))

 

{

 

MessageBox.Show("Description cannot be blank.", "JMS Error Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop);

 

}

}

Hi,

Saw your post.
I'm doing something similar on a RadTextBox like this....

    Private Sub TextBoxMyText_KeyPress(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBoxMyText.KeyPress

        Select Case Char.GetUnicodeCategory(e.KeyChar)
            Case UnicodeCategory.SpaceSeparator
                e.Handled = True
            Case Else
                e.Handled = False
        End Select
    End Sub

Perhaps you can use something similar in the key press events?
Hope it helps
Rich

Hello Jay,

Here is a sample ValueChanging event with minimal sanity checks which demonstrates how to prevent spaces:
 

void radGridView1_ValueChanging(object sender, ValueChangingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.NewValue is string)
   {
        string newVal = e.NewValue as string;
        if (newVal.Contains(" "))
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
    }
}

 
I hope this is what you were looking for.

All the best,
