DataGridView and On Screen Keyboard

[danielkelly]

Hi All,

Im developing a POS application as part of a personal project. The project has a Datagridview which has the items being sold (Quantity,Item Name, Price etc). The Datagridview is on the left of the screen and on the bottom right is my virtual keypad which is basically just a series of Buttons, one for each number. The rest of teh screen is made up of various buttons indicating stock items to sell.

Im having problems getting my head around how to modify a value in the datagrid using the on screen Keyboard. If I click on the button wont focus be taken away from teh Datgridview cell i want to edit?

For example I want the user to click in the Quantity Row on the datgrid and it selects (highlights) what is currently in there (1 For Example) and then if I hit the "2" Button it replaces the 1 with a 2.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniel.

You might want to look at some of the events of the DataGridView. Perhaps CellEnter. Using the method, capture the row and column (cell) where the cursor is into a form-level (global?) variable. So as the user clicks in various cells in the datagridview, the name/location of the current cell is recorded.

When a user clicks on the command button, you will need to reference this variable to know which cell to put the value into.

Make sense??
