I have a databound datagrid located inside a tab page that I have the following issues with:

1) If I use the TAB key to move between columns as I enter data it stops responding to any form of keyboard input until I click in the "stuck" cell using the mouse.

2) The record always stays in edit mode ("has the pencil icon") until I enter data into a cell in the next record. At that point the previous record no longer displays the edit icon and the datagrid draws a new blank row.

I currently have the datagrid edit mode set to EditOnEnter.

I also have two hidden columns that are filled using the DefaultValuesNeeded event.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Gary

Hi gdhigbee,

I will probably need a reproducing sample application to know exactly what is causing this, because there are quite a few unresolved DataGridView problems related to focusing.

What we do know generally, is that in case you register an event handler for your DGV and then you update something on your form within that event handler, some browsers (especially IE) are sensitive to that and may loose the focus out of the DGV in that case. You can see a code fragment with a workaround that may help in some cases within this thread here.

If you can't make it work this way, pleae create the most minimal reproducing sample application, clean it, zip it and then email it to the support email address (see my signature) along with the full Http reference to this thread. Please also add a post here when you have sent it.

Hope this helps,

Palli

Hi Gary,

Good luck with your quest and we will be waiting for your sample application.

Keep in mind, that if you do have an event handler registered that will fire an event when you (for instance) leave the field, and within that event handler you update something on the form, that's exactly where IE seems to be more vulnerable than the other browsers, and where the thread I referenced might help.
