I'm using KeyDown event and trying to find cell value after pressing Enter key.

This is snippet of my code.

Private Sub grdRapidCash_KeyDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles grdRapidCash.KeyDown
 Try
            If grdRapidCash.ActiveCell.Column.Index = 0 Then
                If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Or e.KeyCode = Keys.Tab Then
                    mstrValue = grdRapidCash.Rows(0).Cells(0).Text
                    mstrValue = grdRapidCash.ActiveCell.Text
                End If
            End If

       Catch exp As Exception

       End Try

End Sub

I tried to put before read

grdRapidCash.Update()
grdRapidCash.UpdateData()
grdRapidCash.Refresh()
grdRapidCash.ActiveRow.Update()
grdRapidCash.ActiveCell.Refresh()

mstrValue in both cases equal empty string

I tried this out using the same code you have here and it works just fine for me. The Text property on the cell is returning the actual text on the screen and the Value property returns the value from the underlying data source, which has not yet been changed.

What version of the controls are you using? I tested with v10.3 with the latest service release. So maybe this was a bug in the version you have.

I had problem with version v.8.3....

But it is working in version v.9.1., we are not using version v.10.3.

I have other question.

How to set focus in first cell of new row after I press Enter Key

If grdRapidCash.ActiveCell.Column.Index = 4 Then
         If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
                 grdRapidCash.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).AddNew()
        End If
End If

I tried:
1.
grdRapidCash.ActiveCell = grdRapidCash.ActiveRow.Cells(0)
grdRapidCash.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode, False, False)

2.
grdRapidCash.PerformAction(Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridAction.NextCellByTab, False, False)

Hi,

This will be tricky to do while the grid is in the middle of processing a key. You will probably have problems with timing if you use KeyDown. I would use KeyUp, instead.

    Private Sub UltraGrid1_KeyUp(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles UltraGrid1.KeyUp
        If Me.UltraGrid1.ActiveCell.Column.Index = 4 Then
            If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then
                Dim newRow As UltraGridRow = Me.UltraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Bands(0).AddNew()
                newRow.Cells(0).Activate()
                Me.UltraGrid1.PerformAction(UltraGridAction.EnterEditMode)
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

By the way... it's generally a bad idea to identify a column by Index, like you are doing in your 'if' statement here. The Index of a column will change if the columns are moved, either in code or by the user. You should probably use the column's Key, instead.

Thanks.

It works
