Hi Mike!

I've already tried that, by switching the lines like this ... but it still won't enter EDIT-MODE
( the cell is correcty selected and everything but I have to CLICK IT so I can actually write any text inside the cell )

This is my code - it's NOT working:

if

(changes.Count > 0)

{

_ugFinishDateChanges.Selected.Rows.Clear();

_ugFinishDateChanges.Selected.Rows.Add(_ugFinishDateChanges.Rows[0]);

_ugFinishDateChanges.Focus();

_ugFinishDateChanges.ActiveRow = _ugFinishDateChanges.Rows[0];

];

_ugFinishDateChanges.PerformAction(

.EnterEditMode);

//hvernig set g fkusinn "ReasonForChange" celluna ????

I should note that I tried debugging the Grid after the code has been run,
and I see that this value is FALSE:

_ugFinishDateChanges.ActiveCell.IsInEditMode

Although this code IS run:
_ugFinishDateChanges.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode);

I also tried setting this below:

_ugFinishDateChanges.PerformAction(

UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode);

_ugFinishDateChanges.ActiveCell.SelectAll();

and this latter row gives me what I've would have thought, when NOT in edit-mode:
"Can't access SelectionStart unless the Editor is in edit mode"

So why is it still not in EDIT mode ??

What event is this code in? You can't do this in Form_Load because DotNet will not allow you to set focus to a control before the form is displayed.

It's in the Form_Load ... where would you recommend doing this ?

This should happen when another form(form1) has opened this form with Grid (form2)

This is the complete code ... where should it be if not in FORM_LOAD ?

private

{

//nota e- svona til a stasetja mijum ResPlanner ??? arf a stylla lka property-i: StartPosition Desigernum forminu

//this.Parent = (Form)sender;

.GetFinishDateChangesForProject(_projectIdBeingWorkedWith);

.MinValue)

{

();

newChange.ChangeDate =

.Now;

newChange.ChangeID = -1;

newChange.FinishDate = _changeDateSelectedInHistoryControl;

newChange.ProjectID = _projectIdBeingWorkedWith;

newChange.ProjectName = _projectNameBeingWorkedWith;

changes.Add(newChange);

}

_ugFinishDateChanges.DataSource = changes;

(changes.Count > 0)

{

_ugFinishDateChanges.Selected.Rows.Clear();

_ugFinishDateChanges.Selected.Rows.Add(_ugFinishDateChanges.Rows[0]);

_ugFinishDateChanges.Focus();

_ugFinishDateChanges.ActiveRow = _ugFinishDateChanges.Rows[0];

];

_ugFinishDateChanges.ActiveCell.Value =

;

_ugFinishDateChanges.PerformAction(

.EnterEditMode);

_ugFinishDateChanges.ActiveRow.Update();

//hvernig set g fkusinn "ReasonForChange" celluna ????

Hi Mike

I was refering to this:

private void EnterEditMode() 

{

this.ultraGrid1.Focus();

this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Activation =    Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.Activation.AllowEdit;

this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Activate();

UIElement uiElement =this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].GetUIElement();

EmbeddableUIElementBase embeddableElement = uiElement.GetDescendant(typeof(EmbeddableUIElementBase)) asEmbeddableUIElementBase;

           this.ultraGrid1.Rows[0].Cells[0].EditorResolved.EnterEditMode(embeddableElement);

}

Hi Mariela,

How does that look in VB ?

Could you be more specific? This is a 6-year-old thread with a lot of different code in it for various things. So I don't understand what you are asking. 

How does that look in VB ?

The reason is that cell editing is realized with a TextBox control, which is parented to the grid and positioned inside the cell. This can only be accomplished when the control has a visual presence.

I was having trouble allowing users to add a grid row by clicking an 'Add Line' button and putting the user in the first cell of the new row in edit mode.  The row would add to the grid but the cell was not in edit mode so their text was getting erased when they moved out of the cell and the cell would not respond to the tab key.

Adding the piece with the UI element resolved my issue - thanks!  However, I'm wondering why this was necessary??
