Hi Boris!!

Thanks

Hello Chitra,

Thank you for your patience!

Here is how I was able to achieve it:

private void ultraGrid1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
UltraGridCell oldIndex = null;

switch (e.KeyCode)
{
case Keys.Up:
oldIndex = ultraGrid1.ActiveCell;
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.ExitEditMode, false, false);
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.AboveRow, false, false);
ultraGrid1.ActiveCell = ultraGrid1.ActiveRow.Cells[oldIndex.Column];
e.Handled = true;
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode, false, false);
break;
case Keys.Down:
oldIndex = ultraGrid1.ActiveCell;
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.ExitEditMode, false, false);
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.BelowRow, false, false);
ultraGrid1.ActiveCell = ultraGrid1.ActiveRow.Cells[oldIndex.Column];
e.Handled = true;
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode, false, false);
break;
case Keys.Right:
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.ExitEditMode, false, false);
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.NextCellByTab, false, false);
e.Handled = true;
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode, false, false);
break;
case Keys.Left:
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.ExitEditMode, false, false);
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.PrevCellByTab, false, false);
e.Handled = true;
ultraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode, false, false);
break;
}

}

Please feel free to let me know if a question about our toolset comes up on your mind.

Hi Boris!!

I was wondering if you had any luck in figuring out this issue?!  Please see my previous 3 posts in this thread for complete details. A quick overview of the issue, when you define UltraGridGroups for UltraWinGrid, the code to move cursor up and down like in Excel starts moving left and right....

I tried writing up some code - but if you have row filters on, things get buggy...

Look forward to hearing from you!!

Thanks
Chitra

in the solution you gave here as a sample, please in the ultragrid_initializelayout event add the following - the up and down arrow starts moving left/right...  There, I have spared you the trouble - just do a cut and paste... and tell me what I need to do to fix it....

THANKS  (apologize for the string of emails...)

        private void ultraGrid1_InitializeLayout(object sender, InitializeLayoutEventArgs e)
        {
            ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].RowLayoutStyle = RowLayoutStyle.GroupLayout;

            e.Layout.Override.AllowColSizing = Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.AllowColSizing.Free;
            e.Layout.PerformAutoResizeColumns(true, PerformAutoSizeType.AllRowsInBand);

            UltraGridGroup detailsGroup = e.Layout.Bands[0].Groups.Add("Details", "Details");
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns[0].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = detailsGroup;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns[1].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = detailsGroup;

            UltraGridGroup detailsGroup1 = e.Layout.Bands[0].Groups.Add("some", "some");
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns[2].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = detailsGroup1;
            e.Layout.Bands[0].Columns[3].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = detailsGroup1;
        }

Awright Boris!!!  I was able to narrow down what may be causing this, I hope!!!

I have some Groups defined for this grid..  I can't completely test this -- but it seems to me that if I do not define these groups, the up and down arrow moves fine!!  My guess is that the following row may be the issue???

ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands[0].RowLayoutStyle = RowLayoutStyle.GroupLayout;

Here's some code that I have going to create the groups...

             UltraGridGroup detailsGroup = band.Groups.Add("Details", "Details");
            band.Columns[ColA].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = detailsGroup;
            band.Columns[ColB].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = detailsGroup;
            band.Columns[ColC].RowLayoutColumnInfo.ParentGroup = detailsGroup;

Can you update your solution by adding a group and checking if the up and down arrow movement still works fine?

YOUR HELP will be greatly appreciated!!!

Many thanks
Chitra
