Scheduler KeyDown and KeyPressed Event Issue

[Sahand]

Hi,
Just reporting what I think might be a bug.
Using RadScheduler (2011 Q3) in any ViewType, the following events don't fire when pressing arrow keys:

• KeyDown
• KeyPressed
• CellElementKeyDown
• CellElementKeyPressed

Can you think of any workaround for this issue? I wanted to use it for solving this.

PS. I hope you don't mind me posting bugs all the time. I just like your product very much and this is the least I can do to help you improve them ^_^

Hello Sahand,

Thank you for writing.

This is rather not a bug, but the desired behavior of RadScheduler. The KeyDown and KeyPressed events are not fired because the navigation arrows are handled in a special way by RadScheduler. To achieve your scenario, you should override the ProcessCmdKey method of RadScheduler:

public class MyScheduler : RadScheduler
{
    protected override bool ProcessCmdKey(ref Message msg, Keys keyData)
    {
        bool result = base.ProcessCmdKey(ref msg, keyData);

        if (keyData == Keys.Left)
        {
                 //do stuff here
        }

        return result;
    }

    public override string ThemeClassName
    {
        get
        {
            return typeof(RadScheduler).FullName;
        }
        set
        {
            base.ThemeClassName = value;
        }
    }
}

PS. Of course we do not mind receiving your feedback. Any feedback from our users is always welcome.
