  We are migrating the tdbGrid controls from vb6 to vb.net, but we have not found equivalences for these properties: InsertMode and ConvertEmptyCell; And the MarqueeUnique property has a different behavior. Can you help us to understand to make a good mapping of this properties? thanks in advance…

  Hello,

  1 : For the InsertMode property we need to take the cell editor as TextBox and handle the keypress event to use overstrike mode. Code snippet is given below :

  Private Sub C1TrueDBGrid1_ColEdit(sender As Object, e As C1.Win.C1TrueDBGrid.ColEventArgs) Handles C1TrueDBGrid1.ColEdit
  
  Dim Box As TextBox = TryCast(C1TrueDBGrid1.Editor, TextBox)
          If Box IsNot Nothing Then
              RemoveHandler Box.KeyPress, AddressOf Box_KeyPress
              AddHandler Box.KeyPress, AddressOf Box_KeyPress
          End If
      End Sub
  
   Private Sub Box_KeyPress(sender As Object, e As KeyPressEventArgs)
          Dim Box As TextBox = (TryCast(sender, TextBox))
          If Box.SelectionStart < Box.TextLength AndAlso Not Char.IsControl(e.KeyChar)           Then
              Dim SaveSelectionStart As Integer = Box.SelectionStart
              Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder(Box.Text)
              sb(Box.SelectionStart) = e.KeyChar
              Box.Text = sb.ToString()
              Box.SelectionStart = SaveSelectionStart + 1
              e.Handled = True
          End If
   End Sub
  

  2 : For the ConvertEmptyCell property visit the sample in the location :

  C:\Users\UserName\Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\C1TrueDBGrid\VB

  3: Sorry but there is no such MarqueeUnique property available in TrueDbGrid for winforms.

  I am attaching a sample regarding the first point please go through it for better understanding.

  Thanks.

  Hello,

  Sorry for the delay!

  Every property has its own equivalence. As both the controls are from the different platform so there must be some difference in the property and method listing because they are designed separately as per the need.
  
  Although I have asked developers if they could add these properties in the upcoming builds(375954).
  
  Meanwhile, you can use the above-given code, if I get any update I’ll let you know.

  Thanks.
