Example

The following code example shows how to manage GcMultiRow controls shortcut key settings. The example shows how to change a key's action, and how to customize your own action. This code example is part of a larger example provided for the ShortcutKeyManager property.

void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            gcMultiRow1.Template = Template.Default;
            gcMultiRow1.RowCount = 5;

            // Register another action to a existent key. Unregister old key first.
            this.gcMultiRow1.ShortcutKeyManager.Unregister(Keys.Enter);
            // Register to new action.
            this.gcMultiRow1.ShortcutKeyManager.Register(new EditThenMoveNextAction(), Keys.Enter);

            // Register an action list. Select all first, and then, copy.
            this.gcMultiRow1.ShortcutKeyManager.Register(new ActionList(SelectionActions.SelectAll, EditingActions.Copy), Keys.Control | Keys.Shift | Keys.C);
        }

        class EditThenMoveNextAction : Action
        {
            public override bool CanExecute(GcMultiRow target)
            {
                return true;
            }

            protected override void OnExecute(GcMultiRow target)
            {
                if (target.IsCurrentCellInEditMode == false && EditingActions.BeginEdit.CanExecute(target))
                {
                    EditingActions.BeginEdit.Execute(target);
                }
                else
                {
                    SelectionActions.MoveToNextCell.Execute(target);
                }
            }
        }

VB.NET

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        Me.gcMultiRow1.ShortcutKeyManager.Unregister(Keys.Enter)
        ' Register to new action.
        Me.gcMultiRow1.ShortcutKeyManager.Register(New EditThenMoveNextAction(), Keys.Enter)

        ' Register an action list. Select all first, and then, copy.
        Me.gcMultiRow1.ShortcutKeyManager.Register(New ActionList(SelectionActions.SelectAll, EditingActions.Copy), Keys.Control Or Keys.Shift Or Keys.C)
    End Sub

    Private Class EditThenMoveNextAction
        Inherits Action
        Public Overloads Overrides Function CanExecute(ByVal target As GcMultiRow) As Boolean
            Return True
        End Function

        Protected Overloads Overrides Sub OnExecute(ByVal target As GcMultiRow)
            If target.IsCurrentCellInEditMode = False AndAlso EditingActions.BeginEdit.CanExecute(target) Then
                EditingActions.BeginEdit.Execute(target)
            Else
                SelectionActions.MoveToNextCell.Execute(target)
