Hi,
Isn't the "Enter" key supposed to call the Validating event of an ultraComboEditor ? Because I need to press tab to enter in the event validating although "Enter" seems more appropriate..
Well, you might try calling ValidateChildControls or ValidateControls on the control that contains the combo. I'm not sure this will work while the control still has focus, but it should be easy enough to test.
Yes I think you're probably right. I simulate a "sendkey" on tab key when a detect "Enter", so it's a way of getting around this problem, but if my other controls are not visible, it won't work beacuse there is no 'nextControl', and I want to display information only once I've pressed enter on the selected ComboEditor item...
The Validating event is inherited from Control. So it's pretty much handled by the DotNet framework. Does the Enter key trigger a Validating event for the inbox ComboBox or TextBox controls?
If so, then this might be an issue that we need to look into.
But I suspect it does not. I don't think you can validate a control while it still has focus, validation occurs when the control loses focus.
