Hello again Jerome,
Ok, i've been having a look at this for you, and it's ended up to be quite simple. In the code below, I have a RadRibbonBar and a RadGridView on the form. I've added one tab to the RadRibbonBar, and one group to the tab. In the group, I have then added a RadTextBoxElement during Form Load and wired up the KeyDown events of each of the items on the form.
The magic line to get the cursor to flash in the textbox is:
Here is the whole thing..
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Telerik.WinControls.UI;
namespace RadControlsWinFormsApp1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RadTextBoxElement textboxElment = new RadTextBoxElement();
this.radRibbonBarGroup1.Items.Add(textboxElment);
this.radRibbonBar1.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.SearchKeyDown);
this.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.SearchKeyDown);
this.radGridView1.KeyDown += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventHandler(this.SearchKeyDown);
}
private void SearchKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F3)
MessageBox.Show("Here");
else if (e.KeyCode == Keys.F && e.Modifiers == Keys.Control)
{
RadTextBoxElement txt = (RadTextBoxElement)this.radRibbonBarGroup1.Items[0];
txt.TextBoxItem.Text = "";
// Focus on the hosted control, not the textbox item
txt.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.Focus();
}
}
}
}
Hope this helps, but let me know if you need more information. Please remember to mark as answer if this has provided the answer for you.
Thanks
Richard
