Question

Inline editing in a datagrid refuses spaces in text

2

I have some fairly simple basetables that have just a few fields and I decided to try to allow users to enter and edit these inline in the datagrid. Works like a jiffy, with just ONE problem...... although the fields are all set to (limited lenght) string, my (2.5.1.1) application seems to dislike the idea of having spaces in a typed string and refuses to notice any spacebar activity while typing. What am I missing?

Hi Lex,

The space bar will de-select the row entry or reselect it when editing a row. In order to add a space character you could use "Shift+Space Bar". Not high in usability, but it works.
