Thank you for the reply.

Hi,

There's no easy (or even reasonable, in my opinion) way to do this, because you cannot determine the selection position in a TextBox or other grid cell from a point.

The way the grid handles this internally, when you single-click on a cell, is that it fakes it by waiting until the cell has entered edit mode and then it uses the Winfows API to send a MouseDown message to the TextBox at the same point. So you could try to take the same approach, but it would be very tricky.

Hi,

In ultrawingrid, when i double click the cell i need to place the cursor exactly where i double clicked.

Now when i double click the cell the cursor is placed in the end of the text. I done this with the help of placing the below code in the doubleclickcell event of the grid.

        Grid.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode)
        Dim editor As EmbeddableEditorBase = Me.Grid.ActiveCell.EditorResolved

        editor.SelectionStart = editor.TextLength
        editor.SelectionLength = 0

Please let me know how to place the cursor anywere between the text where i double click.

I have an ultrawingrid. I have an MouseEnterElement event. I have a debug breakpoint on this event and I was surprised to see that this event fires in an infinite loop , i had to remove the breakpoint to actually stop it. Why is it so?

I am not sure if it was an infinite loop or number of rows * number of columns times. But still why so?

I've used a breakpoint in this event many time, and I have never seen the event fire in an infinite loop. Of course, if you put a breakpoint in this event and then you continue to run your application and the application happens to appear under the current position of the mouse, then the grid will get a MouseMove message and the event will fire again. So you need to make sure the mouse point is out of the way.

grid.activerow is null. How can I get the current row on which the mouse has entered?

You can't use the ActiveRow. ActiveRow is nothing to do with the current position of the mouse. You can get the row using the UIElements.

        private void ultraGrid1_MouseEnterElement(object sender, UIElementEventArgs e)
        {
            RowUIElement rowUIElement = e.Element.GetAncestor(typeof(RowUIElement)) as RowUIElement;
            if (rowUIElement != null)
            {
                UltraGridRow row = rowUIElement.Row;                
            }
        }
