Hi,

I noticed that the OnKeyPress, OnKeyUp, and OnKeyDown don't 'work' the same as the microsoft text box, it's been documented here in this forum, and there were a few other events that don't work as expected.

Is there a full list of events in this and other controls that I should be wary about when converting all our .net controls to telerik ones?

I'm using version 2011.2.11.831.

Thanks,
Clive

Hello Clive,

Thank you for writing.

I have just tested those events with our latest version and all three of them are fired correctly:
public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    radTextBox1.KeyUp += new KeyEventHandler(radTextBox1_KeyUp);
    radTextBox1.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(radTextBox1_KeyDown);
    radTextBox1.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(radTextBox1_KeyPress);
}
 
void radTextBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Press");
}
 
void radTextBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Down");
}
 
void radTextBox1_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    Console.WriteLine("UP");
}

We used to have such an issue with the events in the previous versions of our suite. However, in those versions you can still capture the events, by subscribing to the events of the hosted control:
    radTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(HostedControl_KeyDown);
    radTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.KeyUp += new KeyEventHandler(HostedControl_KeyUp);
    radTextBox1.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(HostedControl_KeyPress);
 
void HostedControl_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
     
}
 
void HostedControl_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
     
}
 
void HostedControl_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
     
}

I hope that you find this information useful. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Hi Stefan,

Sorry I didn't include a code example to what I mean. We have numerous controls that inherit from Microsoft System.Windows.Forms.xyz to Telerix controls. We override many OnEvent methods, and it was concerning that these did not fire when I moved them to Telerik controls. I'm wondering if there is a list of OnEvent methods that don't do what I'd expect, similarly if there is a list of events that do not fire in Telerik controls that would fire in System.Windows.Forms controls.

In the example below typing into the TextBox1 has the following output.

OnEnter TextBox1

Enter TextBox1

OnKeyDown TextBox1

KeyDown TextBox1

OnKeyPress TextBox1

KeyPress TextBox1

OnKeyUp TextBox1

KeyUp TextBox1


This is following a nice pattern. However the RadTextBox1 has the following output, that does not follow a similar pattern.

OnEnter RadTextBox1

KeyDown RadTextBox1

KeyPress RadTextBox1

KeyUp RadTextBox1


It looks like it's a bit of a mess with what I should be overriding, or listening to events.

Imports Telerik.WinControls.UI
  
Public Class Form5
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
  
    'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.

Hi Clive,

Thank you for writing.

In order to have the exact events as in the standard text box, you should replace the default RadTextBoxItem of RadTextBox. In the attachment, you can find a sample application demonstrating this approach. If this solution does not satisfy your needs, please describe your scenario and why you need to override the methods (OnKeyDown, OnKeyPress and OnKeyUp). This will allow us to think of a possible solution that matches your case.

All the best,
Stefan
