How to type new line into grid cell?

Hi

Ignite ui 13.2

I can’t figure out how to type a new line into a grid cell.

eg I am using cell edit mode nad I want to enter this:

Line 1

Line 2

Line 3

Whenever I hit the enter key it ends the edit. Same with ctrl+enter and alt+enter.

Is there a special key combination that I need to use?

I have set up a column formatter to convert new lines into
tags as described here:

and it is being called for the column in question, I just can’t figure out how to type them into the cell.

Hello Graeme,

I would suggest you to use a text editor provider for the grid columns where you will need line breaks. Set the editor's textMode to multiline: http://help.infragistics.com/jQuery/2013.2/ui.igtexteditor#options

Hope this helps.

Hi

Thanks very much for the pointer. I now have it working.

For completeness, I am setting up the grid model in my controller so I have the following setting for this column:

oUpdating.ColumnSettings.Add(new ColumnUpdatingSetting() { ColumnKey = JobViewModel.COL_NOTE_NoteText, EditorType = ColumnEditorType.Text, EditorOptions="textMode:'multiline'" });

I have to press shift+enter to type a new line into a cell.
