Gridview Filtering Control FOCUS

[jorge]

Hi, I am trying to set Focus on the GridView Filtering box when F2 Key is pressed.

Any idea ?

Hi jorge,

Filter rows are skipped upon keyboard navigation, so I guess that you need F2 to be an application wide command. Please note that if you use the work-around below you will not be able to start editing a normal cell because the F2 key will be handled at application level and the message will not reach the normal cell.

Here is the code:

[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Form5 form = new Form5();
    Application.AddMessageFilter(form);
    Application.Run(form);
}

and for your form:

public partial class Form5 : RadForm, IMessageFilter
{
    public Form5()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }


    #region IMessageFilter Members

    public bool PreFilterMessage(ref Message m)
    {
            //key down 0x0100
            //F2 113
            if (m.Msg == 0x0100 && m.WParam == new IntPtr(113))
            {
                 this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.TableFilteringRow.Cells[0].BeginEdit();
                return true;
            }

            return false;
        }

        #endregion
}

I hope that helps. Do not hesitate to write me back if you have further questions.

Hello jorge,

You can use this C# to VB converter. Most of the time it works ok so in general you have to make only minor changes to the converted code.
