WPF Radcombox can't handle "insert" keypress

[Ram]

Hi All

I have a WPF RadComboBox within a RadDataForm as per below - however whenever I press "insert" on my keyboard the data on the form disappears.   

I have tried to handle the "Insert" keypress in the keydown and keyup events but to no avail, it doesn't drop in there - I need to be prevent the form data from disappearing when the insert key is pressed.

Is there a way to disable a certain key from being pressed?

Please help ASAP.

Hi Ram,

We already replied in the support ticket. However I will paste the reply here in order to be available to the community:

When pressing the Insert key the RadDataForm is adding a new item by default. You might see an empty window since you have probably not set a NewItemTemplate for your RadDataForm. If you would like to disable this behavior, you can handle the PreviewKeyDown event of the RadDataForm and set the e.Handled event to True:
​​​

private void RadDataForm_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Key == Key.Insert)
    {
        e.Handled = true;
    }
}

You can also create a custom keyboard command provider and handle the case of pressing the Insert key. You can check the following article - RadDataForm Keyboard Support.

Hope this helps.
