Hello, I am using Delphi 10.4.1 and the TMS VCL UI Pack Version 10.6.7.0.
I have an AdvStringGrid that I am using to collect text and numeric data. In the grid, information will be entered into a value column. The first cell in the value column has an edit type of edNormal to accept a text value, and the remaining rows have an edit type of edFloatSpinEdit. I have configured the grid parameters so the return key, tab, or arrow can be used to advance down the column to the next cell while editing values. I have copied the relevant settings below.
When advancing from the first value to the second value I am getting inconsistent results. After a text value is entered into the first cell, if tab is pressed, the text value is stored in the first cell and the selection advances down one cell. If the return key or down arrow is pressed to move from the first cell to the second cell, the cell selection advances down one cell, but the text value in the first cell is replaced by a numeric value.
I created a video of the behavior in a demo project: AdvStringGrid Auto Advance - YouTube
I would like to configure the project so that I get consistent behavior when advancing between the first and second cells and so that the text value is not overwritten by a numeric value when the active cell changes. Is there a problem with my configuration that is causing this behavior? I can provide the project I am using to test this if it would be helpful.
Any help you can provide on this issue is appreciated.
