How to move the cursor position to the end of the text in WinForms GridGroupingControl?

Move the cursor position


To set the record with the cursor at the end position while moving the cursor dynamically, you can use the CurrentCell.MoveTo method. After moving the CurrentCell to a particular cell, you can set the cursor at the end position by using CurrentCell.Renderer.

If you want to highlight the cell value in a cell, you can use renderer.TextBox.SelectAll method instead of using renderer.TextBox.SelectionStart

 

C#

private void moveBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Set your needed column index
    int colIndex = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.FieldToColIndex(0);

    //Getting the record rowIndex based on its position
    int rowIndex = this.gridGroupingControl1.Table.Records[0].GetRowIndex();

    //Moving the current cell
    this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(rowIndex, colIndex, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus);           
    this.gridGroupingControl1.Focus();

    //Setting the cursor at end position of cell
    if (this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer is GridTextBoxCellRenderer)
    {
        GridTextBoxCellRenderer renderer = this.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer as GridTextBoxCellRenderer;
        renderer.TextBox.SelectionStart = renderer.TextBox.Text.Length;
    }
} 

VB

Private Sub moveBtn_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
     'Set your needed column index
     Dim colIndex As Integer = Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableDescriptor.FieldToColIndex(0)

     'Getting the record rowIndex based on its position
     Dim rowIndex As Integer = Me.gridGroupingControl1.Table.Records(0).GetRowIndex()

     'Moving the current cell
     Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.MoveTo(rowIndex, colIndex,  Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus)
     Me.gridGroupingControl1.Focus()

     'Setting the cursor at end position of cell
     If TypeOf Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer Is   GridTextBoxCellRenderer Then
        Dim renderer As GridTextBoxCellRenderer = TryCast(Me.gridGroupingControl1.TableControl.CurrentCell.Renderer, GridTextBoxCellRenderer)
        renderer.TextBox.SelectionStart = renderer.TextBox.Text.Length
     End If
End Sub

Note:

In the sample below, we have provided the two buttons. If you press the Moving with cursor at end button, the current cell will be moved to a particular cell with the cursor at the end position. The current cell will be moved with highlighting the cell value if you press the Moving with Cell Value highlighting button.

  

The screenshot below illustrates the movement of the cursor position in the GridGroupingControl.
