Keyboard Tabbing column to column

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have a application running that did tab to the next right most column when the user pressed the Tab key in an Inplace control.  The process worked fine in v10.3 of the toolkit, but now that I have upgraded to v11.2 this process stopped working.

My current code looks like:

void CTNVWPoints::OnPreviewKeyDown(NMHDR * pNotifyStruct, LRESULT * result)

{
XTP_NM_REPORTPREVIEWKEYDOWN *pKeyNotify = (XTP_NM_REPORTPREVIEWKEYDOWN *)pNotifyStruct;

ASSERT(pKeyNotify);
if (pKeyNotify->nChar==VK_TAB)

{ pKeyNotify->bCancel=TRUE;
GetReportCtrl().GetNavigator()->MoveRight();
GetReportCtrl().GetNavigator()->BeginEdit();

...
}
}

What I discovered is that the Navigator->MoveRight() function appears to work and select the next column, however after the call to ReportCtrl->AdjustScrollbars() at the beginning of the Navigator->BeginEdit() function, the ivar ReportCtrl->m_pFocusedColumn is cleared to NULL and the rest of Navigator->BeginEdit() is skipped.
The net result is that the expected column is not openned for editting and the focused column is lost (focused row remains ok).

Do you have a suggested Tabbing technique for v11.2?

Thanks in advance

	Why do you not use the default functions of the ReportControl ? If the Report is editable and FocusSubItems is true, the ReportControl does this automaticly for you.

	Baldur, Thanks for the suggestion, but that function does not give me the behaviour that I wanted. I have found a work-around that replaces the navigator BeginEdit function, which doesn't work, with the Report EditItem function. Example: ... GetReportCtrl().GetNavigator()->MoveRight(); pCol = GetReportCtrl().GetFocusedColumn(); pCol->EnsureVisible(); pRow = GetReportCtrl().GetFocusedRow(); pItem = pRow->GetRecord()->GetItem(pCol); Args.pRow = pRow; Args.pColumn = pCol; Args.pItem = pItem; Args.pControl = &GetReportCtrl(); GetReportCtrl().EditItem(&Args); ... Lastly, to allow the Tab key to move beyond an inplace List control, I needed to modify the CXTPReportInplaceList::OnKeyDown() method.

	Hi, When I add your code into HeaderFooterView of ReportSample, it works fine. Try it, and then validate difference between your control settings and a sample one. -- WBR, Serge

	Hi; In version 12.0 the behaviour seems to be still wrong. I try to tab between items and also the mentioned solution with direct call to EditItem does not word. As I can see, GetNavigator()->MoveRight() selects the wrong column (to the left of the currenly focused item) !!! But I will dig into this.

	Hi; I found my mistake: Don't call EndEdit(0) in OnPreviewKey() handler when editing is still in progress!
