DataGridView Cell Edit

[bemanian]

Hi,

This is a simple DataGridView in a windows form which contains a number
of other controls as buttons, text boxes and so on. The problem is when
the data grid cell editing is conducted via the entries by the
keyboard, combined by entries via the other control buttons (within the
win-form). It seems pressing any other control within the form suspends
the cell editing, expectedly. Then the insertion of the characters into
the cell via the other buttons would erase the entire cell content and
start the process all over again. Everything continues then on, even if
the key entries are attempted, until you use the character insertions
via the form buttons.

This is due to selection of the entire cell content and change of
selectstart property to zero, when the switch from keyboard to form
entries take place. Not a big deal if the metrics are captured via an
event, and reestablished prior to the form control entries? The problem
is using either EndEdit or Parsing events for the data grid, show the
SelectionLength and SelectionStart as full text length and zero
respectively (full text selection by the framework, and move of the
cursor to the start of the text content), and there is no event to be
utilized as the key entries into the grid cell is performed. Any idea!
