WPF Grid Control - Move to Next Row and Multi-cell paste

created 12 years ago

Hi

We have started using DevExpress controls recently moving from SyncFusion. I have a couple of questions around functionality that was available (or very easy to find) in Grid Control:

  1. I can't seem to find a way to move control to next row. When a user finish editing a cell and hit Enter. I want the control to stay in the same column but move to the next row. This was straight forward in SyncFusion.
  2. There isn't a default way of handling multi-cell paste. I am looking to copy a set of cells from Excel and paste in a column but it only paste in first cell. How can I achieve that in a clean-way without handling KeyDown events which sort of breaks our MVVM design. Or at least a clean, MVVM friendly way of handling this situation.
    Thanks.

Hello,

  1. To move the control to the next row, you can handle the DataViewBase.PreviewKeyDown event in the following manner:
C#
private void TableView_PreviewKeyDown_1(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) {  
           if(e.Key == System.Windows.Input.Key.Return) {  
               (sender as TableView).CloseEditor();  
               (sender as TableView).MoveNextRow();  
               e.Handled = true;  
           }  
       }
  1. To paste multi cell values, use the DataViewBase.PastingFromClipboard event to handle the paste operation as required:
    Please try this solution and let us know the results.
    Thanks,
