[Solved] F1 KeyDown Event

[Terry]

Hello,

I can't seem to trap any Function keys while editing a cell on the radGridView. Could you provide any clues where I am going wrong? I have practically copied the code from your help documentation. If I press Ctrl+L then all works fine.

Regards

Terry

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load


        Me.KeyPreview = True

        Dim x As Boolean
        x = LogIntoSQL()

        If x = True Then
            Try
                myList = New BindingList(Of CompanyHistory)()
                LoadNewCompanyHistory()
                RadGridView1.DataSource = myList

            Catch ex As Exception
                MsgBox(ex.Message)
            End Try
        End If



    End Sub


    Private tbSubscribed As Boolean = False

    Private Sub radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewCellEventArgs)
        Dim tbEditor As RadTextBoxEditor = TryCast(Me.RadGridView1.ActiveEditor, RadTextBoxEditor)
        If Not tbEditor Is Nothing Then
            If (Not tbSubscribed) Then
                tbSubscribed = True
                Dim tbElement As RadTextBoxEditorElement = CType(tbEditor.EditorElement, RadTextBoxEditorElement)
                AddHandler tbElement.KeyDown, AddressOf tbElement_KeyDown
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

            If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then
                CType(sender, RadTextBoxEditorElement).Text = "F1"
            End If

            If e.KeyCode = Keys.F2 Then
                CType(sender, RadTextBoxEditorElement).Text = "F2"
            End If

            If e.KeyCode = Keys.L Then
                CType(sender, RadTextBoxEditorElement).Text = "LLLL"
            End If

        End If


    End Sub

    Public Sub New()

        ' This call is required by the designer.
        InitializeComponent()

        ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.
        AddHandler RadGridView1.CellEditorInitialized, AddressOf radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized
    End Sub
End Class

Hello Terry,

The reason why you are not receiving key press events is because are not sent to the editor element, instead the editor element has a property called TextBoxItem. In order to catch those events you should handle the KeyDown event of the base TextBox so in your case: tbElement.TextBoxItem.KeyDown.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,
