Hi,

We are using numeric up downs in a grid, but we do not want the up and down keys to change the value as we would like to preserve them for navigating around the grid. Previously, we were able to do this by overriding the OnKeyDown event. Since updating to 2014.1.224 from 2013.2.0611, this no longer works. I've compared the two binaries with reflector and it looks like the signature of the OnKeyDown event has changed from OnKeyDown(KeyEventsArgs e) to OnKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventsArgs e). We are unable to override this new event, and therefore the base one is always firing.

Can you provide a workaround please?

Thanks,
Andrea

Hello Andrea,

The change is the following - we are no longer overriding the OnKeyDown of the TextBox inside the NumericUpDown, but hooking to the event. So, I would suggest you to do the same.
Please give it a try and let us know if this is working for you.

Hi Konstantina,

Thanks for getting back to me. However, that didn't work. It looks like the RadNumericUpDown class attaches to the evfent handler like this:

base.AddHandler(UIElement.KeyDownEvent, new KeyEventHandler(this.OnKeyDown), true);


The last argument to AddHandler is described as follows:
 
handledEventsToo
Type: System.Boolean
true to register the handler such that it is invoked even when the routed event is marked handled in its event data; false to register the handler with the default condition that it will not be invoked if the routed event is already marked handled.
The default is false.
Do not routinely ask to rehandle a routed event. For more information, see Remarks

Even if I set Handled = true in my event handler, it won't stop your handler from running.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrea

Hello Andrea,

Thank you for your patience.

We have thoroughly researched the possibility of changing this behavior, but that will break the already fixed bug. However, I am sending you a sample application in which I have proposed a work-around to achieve the desired behavior.

Hope it helps.

Hi Kalin,
Thanks! However, I haven't received the sample application? Were you going to attach it to your post or am I just being blind and not seeing it?

Thanks,
Andrea
