RichEditControl: The delete key(Supr) acts like the backspace

created 12 years ago

Hello, I'm using devexpress richeditcontrol and
I have a problem with the key delete (in spanish keyboard 'Supr'). When I push it the caret delete letter before it, like backspace, but I need it works like spanish keyboard, deleting letters (or objects) after the caret. Is there any option on control?
Thanks and best regards.

Hi,
You can use the approach illustrated in the How to change the shortcut key assigned to a command code example to remap keys. For instance, this sample code illustrates how to force the BACKSPACE key to behave in the same manner as the DELETE key does:

C#
richEditControl1.RemoveShortcutKey(Keys.Back, Keys.None);  
richEditControl1.AssignShortcutKeyToCommand(Keys.Back, Keys.None, RichEditCommandId.Delete);

I hope this information helps you.
Thanks,
Alessandro.

      this not work for my code. I think you have understood bad my question. I don't need replace backspace key action. The problem is that when I push DELETE key, it works like BACKSPACE key and I haven't overrided any key shortkeycommand.
      Do you understand?
      Thanks and best regards

        I understand your scenario. You can use the recommended approach to modify this behavior. I have illustrated how to modify the BACKSPACE key behavior. You can use the same approach to modify any other key behavior. For instance, try the following code:

        C#
        richEditControl1.RemoveShortcutKey(Keys.Delete, Keys.None);  
richEditControl1.AssignShortcutKeyToCommand(Keys.Delete, Keys.None, RichEditCommandId.Delete);

        Does this information help you?
