RadGridView In A User Control

[Martin]

Hi Folks,

I have a user control (WinForms) that has a radGridView placed on it.

I use it on my radForm as follows:

Declare the instance of the control as a member level variable

private UserctlItemMastGridView _gridview;

Then in the constructor of the form I set it up and:

_gridview = new UserctlItemMastGridView();
_gridview.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
pnlAll.Controls.Add(_gridview);
_gridview.GridClicked += new EventHandler(this._gridview_GridClicked);

Which is fine. I have an event handler which fires when the grid is clicked.

The issue I have is the mouse-wheel scroll is not being fired or captured. Is there a way to raise an event for mouse scroll on the user control and pass it back to the form?

Many thanks,

Martin.

Hello again,

It seems that an easy solution is to set the focus on the grid control whenever the click event is fired. This works and allows for mouse-wheel scrolling - but I actually want the focus to go to a textbox on the form.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for writing.

Note that the RadGridView.MouseWheel event will be fired when the grid is currently focused.
You can refer to the following stackOverflow threads demonstrating how to make an event in the UserControl and have it handled in the main form:

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.

Hi Dess,

The issue here is not firing the event and handling it on the main form - I am already handling the grid Click event this way.

The issue is Handling a scroll / mouse wheel event (which are not available at design time) and handling THIS on the form - whilst also allowing a textbox on the form to receive focus. I am not sure which run-time event to handle - do I have to handle a MouseEventHandler or a generic Event Handler?

I think the easiest way to do this is to apply Grid Focus on the grid click event and set the textbox focus another way.

Thanks,
Martin.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for writing back. 

The RadGridView.MouseWheel event is supposed to be fired when the control is currently focused. If you have an event in the UserControl which should fire when the RadGridView.MouseWheel event is fired while another control is focused, you should handle the MouseWheel event of the text box and programmatically force the desired grid event to fire.

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know.
