Make TextboxColumn accept return

[Smitha Test]

Hi,

Is there a way to make the TextboxColumn added to Gridview like in code below to accept return<enter>..???

currently i have to do alt+ enter to accept the <enter> key.

Thanks,

GridViewTextBoxColumn textBoxColumn = new GridViewTextBoxColumn();
textBoxColumn.FieldName = "Comments";
textBoxColumn.FieldAlias = "Comments";
textBoxColumn.UniqueName = "Comments";
textBoxColumn.HeaderText = "Text";
this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(textBoxColumn);

Hi Smitha Test,

We noticed that you gave a response in the "Tab strip inside tab-strip" ticket. You can check our respective reply there.

As to the question at hand, in order to get the desired behavior, you should extend the BaseGridBehavior and override the ProcessEnterKey method. This will allow you to keep the multiline editor opened when you press the Enter key. In addition, you should subscribe to the CellEditorInitialied event where you need to set the Multiline and AcceptReturn properties to true. The full approach is demonstrated in the sample project attached.

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Thanks it worked!!!

Thanks for the example. I'm using Q1 2010 SP2 and I'm able to accept multiple lines of text but, once the user finishes entering data, I want the grid row to resize to show ALL rows of text that were entered.  At the end of the form constructor in your sample project, I added these two lines of code:

 

 

 

 

this.radGridView1.AutoSizeRows = true;
this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.TableHeaderRow.MinHeight = 40;

The issues I have are:

• The rows resize but are always half of a textrow too short to show the entire text that was entered (see screenshot - I keyed "Last" on the last line I entered which you will see cut off).
• The Add New row's height got big too. We would hope that the height of the Add New row would stay constant.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide...

This looks like a possible workaround (except for the AddNewRow height) but there's got to be a better way.  I've added a RowFormatting event handler:

       private void radGridView1_RowFormatting(object sender, RowFormattingEventArgs e)
        {
            int padding = 16;
            Graphics g = radGridView1.CreateGraphics();
            int oneRowH = (int)g.MeasureString("X", e.RowElement.Font).Height;
            g.Dispose();

            //int oneRowH =  Convert.ToInt32(e.RowElement.Font.GetHeight()) + 1;
            if (e.RowElement.RowInfo is GridViewDataRowInfo)
            {
                char[] cArr = e.RowElement.RowInfo.Cells["CompanyName"].Value.ToString().ToCharArray();
                int k = 0;
                foreach (char c in cArr)
                {
                    if (c == '\r') k++;
                }
                e.RowElement.RowInfo.Height = (k * oneRowH == 0 ? oneRowH : k * oneRowH) + padding;
            }
            else
            {
                e.RowElement.RowInfo.Height = oneRowH + padding;
            }
        }

Hi Bill,

Thank you for the question and please accept my apologies for the delayed response.

Indeed, the described issue exists in Q1 2010 SP2 and I am glad to inform you that it will be addressed in Q2 2010 due in the beginning of July. The workaround that you have implemented is efficient and you can use it until we release the new version.

However, I was not able to reproduce the behavior where all rows (including the new row) get height of 40 when the following property is set:

this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.TableHeaderRow.MinHeight = 40;

Please note that this setting should set only the height of the TableHeaderRow (columns' headers), but not the height of all rows.

There is a special setting for the new row:

this.radGridView1.MasterGridViewInfo.TableAddNewRow.MinHeight = 40;

If you need to set the MinHeight of the DataRows, you should do it as it is shown below:

for (int i = 0; i < this.radGridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
    this.radGridView1.Rows[i].MinHeight = 40;
}

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Kind regards,
