ExcelLikeCurrentCell = true deletes hole cellvalue in editmode

[Markus Kraft]

Hi,
if ExcelLikeCurrentCell = true and a cell is in editmode (dbl-click or F2)and i press the delete-key the hole cell value will be deleted the same behavor is when marked a range of characters inside the cell.

correct is to delete the character on the right side of the inputcursor.

is a way to resolve these problem?

I tried to reproduce this in the attached sample, but I do not see the problem. Do you?

Do you have other settings or events handled that might affect this?

Hi Clay,
your sendet sample 7114 uses a datagrid.
With a datagrid the deleting-error i described dont occours.

I modified your sample with a databoundgrid and activated ExcelLikeCurrentCell = true and ExcelLikeSelectionFrame = true.

If a cell is in editmode (dbl-click or F2)and i press the delete-key the hole cell value will be deleted. Also is it not possible to mark a substring and copy the substring to another cell, only the complete cell value will be copied. this behavor is not correct.

Correct is to delete the character on the right side of the inputcursor or copy only the marked substring.

can you resolve this problem with a databound grid ?

I can reproduce this behavior and we'll have to fix it in our codebase.

The databoundgrid has no explicit if-statements if Excel-like selection mode has been enabled and therefore treats the current cell-selected range as if it is regular cell selection.

Hi Stephan,
i have 3 Questions:

1. When will you fix this problem?
2. Can you help me to fix this problem in my essentialsource-code?
3. When is a new version ( V2.0) of syncfusion essentialsuite available?

In GridDataBoundGrid.HandleKeyDown look at the line
else if (Model.SelectedRanges.Count > 0)

and change it to

else if (Model.Options.ExcelLikeCurrentCell && Model.SelectedRanges.Count > 1 ||
Model.Options.ExcelLikeCurrentCell && Model.SelectedRanges.Count == 1 &&
Model.SelectedRanges[0].Width + Model.SelectedRanges[0].Height > 0 ||
!Model.Options.ExcelLikeCurrentCell && Model.SelectedRanges.Count > 0)

or you could sinple check for CurrentCell.IsEditing ...

I haven't tested this yet. Before I make any changes I first have to look more carefull.

We just had a 1.6.1.7 build going out. So it will be at least another week or two before we make a 1.6.1.8 where I can then add that changed.

We don't have a date for 2.0 specified yet.
