Pageup/down problem

[jagan]

When we have a value in a textbox inside radgridview,which is currently has focus and if we press pagedown, the cursor first comes to end of the text and once again pressing pagedown then only the page down event occurs. How to make the pagedown event happen with single press inside radgridview?

Hi jagan,

The behavior that you are referencing is the expected one. The Textbox, that is currently in edit mode handles the KeyDown event and that is why the RadGridView does not as it is already handled.  

In order to receive the handled events, you could subscribe for a routed KeyDown event in the application itself. Handling events like this is not very good approach though.

For example you could implement your scenario by subscribing and handling the event like this:

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

private void OnKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)
       {
           if (e.Key == System.Windows.Input.Key.PageDown)
           {
               this.clubsGrid.CurrentCellInfo = new GridViewCellInfo(clubsGrid.Items[3], clubsGrid.Columns[0]);
               this.clubsGrid.CurrentCell.IsInEditMode = true;
              // your logic here
           }
       }

The general idea of routed events in Silverlight and WPF is as follows - they climb up the visual tree so that in the end the control that handles the event gets hit whenever that event fires for any control below it in the visual tree. Handling LeftMouseButtonUp on your GridView or even UserControl is fine. You just have to check if the element in which the event originates is the one you need and only then take action.

I hope that this suggestion is helpful for you.
