Two Ultrawingrid issues :



What is the best way to cause the focus to go to the first column of the first row when the grid is entered via tabbing from the previous control. i.e. so you can immediately start typing or tabbing through the gird.



How does one handle the keypress so that a ctrl-Tab will exit the grid and move to the next control in the TOController tab order.?



Thanks



( if you know the answer and could email it to me I'd appreciate it as i may need it before the forum goes down for maintenance)

Hi Charles.

I have been fighting the UltraGrid for days now!

Getting it to do exactly what I want has been a challenge, but so far I am managing to do it. "Someone" has always told me how working with grids was a pain in the neck...

I will have a look at your sample and see if I can come back with some idea.

Here you are, Charles.

Basicaly, I dropped a GroupBox on the form and moved the grid inside it. Then I rearranged the form Tab order, and set the GroupBox "TabOrder on TabOrderController1" to 2, or whatever gets in the middle of the other 2 controls before and afterhand. Next, I added code to the GroupBox_Enter event to move the focus to the grid:

And, for the Grid "TabOrder on TabOrderController1", I set -1, so it will tab inside it freely.

Hope it helps.

Clever idea. I'll have a look at it tonight.



Obrigado again !

Ivan, thank you so much for the groupbox trick to get the TabOrderController to work with Ultrawingrid. Works beutifully and is very easy to implement. The ctrl-tab and shift-ctrl-tab still work as designed.



For benefit of lurkers ( and me when I forget what I did ) :



When using a TabControl and multiple pages, you can tab from last control on page1 to first control on page2 by using the Leave event of the page1 control to set the SelectedTab() of the TabControl to page2 and then, in the Enter of page2 set the focus to the next control in the tab sequence.

Glad it helped, Charles!
