I want to extend the functionality of the UltraTextEditor to validate against certain input types use regular expressions.
If I add the UltraTextEditor to a grid column as the Editor property, I cannot seem to capture the key presses to enable me to suppress invalid characters from being entered into this field.
Is there another way to apply a regular expression to a grid cell in edit mode? Or perhaps a way to suppress certain characters from being entered into the Editor?
Thanks.
If you are using a grid, then you need to use the events of the grid, not of the editor control. The grid does not use the control, the control simply provides the grid with a copy of it's own editor.
Oh, that's a shame. Would be really good to have a control that works independantly :o( Maybe I'll suggest such an option should be available in future versions.....
And I read elsewhere that creating an Editor myself to do this would be a really challenge?
