When I have the following code the editor allows the user to type. Why are the right/left arrow keys ignored along with the delete key? Do I need a specific property set?
UltraComboEd.DropDownStyle = DropDownStyle.DropDown;
thanks

Hi Ken,
Delete and Backspace are not the same, and there is no way to change Delete to do what Backspace does. I suppose you could try trapping KeyDown or KeyPress and either changing the key code or marking the event Handled and then performing whatever operation you want.
I found the problem with the arrow keys but the DELETE key is still ignored. It doesn't function like the backspace key.
I basically need the DELETE key to function like the BACKSPACE.
Hi Mike,
The keys i am talking about are the right left arrow keys. They seem to work in a regular UltraComboEditor but not one that is placed in a UserControl.
Why do you think they get lost when embedded in a user control? The User Control isn't swallowing them because the OnKeyDownCombo() gets called when the Right / Left are used. It doesn't make sense to me.
The delete key doesn't work in either case. The backspace works but that isn't the delete key. The delete key is located under the insert key on the keyboard and it doesn't work. Can you please confirm this?
I really need to get this figured out soon...any ideas are appreciated.
Up, down, and delete work fine for me. What version of the control are you using?
Do those keys work in any other controls within the same container? My guess is that something else in your code is eating those keystrokes before they ever get to the UltraComboEditor. Are you using a Toolbar or ToolStrip or ContextMenu that uses those keys as shortcuts?
