LMD GridPack Guide


Using Grid Control


As usually most actions can be performed using mouse: the user can change current row/column, select values, scroll view, activate editors, drop choosers, ect. Columns can be reordered or resized using mouse dragging:

Grid data can be sorted ascending or descending by clicking on the column header; the small arrow indicator appears on the right to the caption to highlight sorted column state:

Additionally to mouse interface, LMD-Grid also provides standard keyboard interface. Used keys are common to most standard controls and should be familiar to most users:

 

Arrow

Keys can be used to change current row/column.

Ctrl+Arrows

For view scrolling without changing current row/column.

Shift+Arrows

For multi-selecting cells.

PgDown/PgUp

For view scrolling.

Home/End

For selecting first/last column.

Ctrl+Home/End

For scrolling to first/last row.

F2

For showing inplace editor (if always show inplace editor feature is turned off).

F4

For dropping down a chooser.

Ins

For inserting new row.

Ctrl+Del

For deleting existing row.

 

Also some specific column editors use additional keys:

 

•Check-box column uses Space key to change checked state.

•Rating column uses "0" to "5" keys to specify rating value.

 

Additionally, most columns use Del key to reset value back to Null value. Resetting value to Null is not possible with mouse.
