Trouble with Editor edCustom and MoneyEditLink

VCL TMS VCL UI Pack
1

Hello,


Have a grid where one of the columns contain a money amount.  This amount can be positive or negative.

I have the Editor value set to edCustom and the EditLink value set to a TMoneyEditLink Component.

Problem 1:  I am unable to type a negative value into the column.

Problem 2:  The use of the 10 key to do math does not work.  

I was hoping the column would function like a TAdvMoneyEdit with the EditType set to etMoney but it does not.

Any ideas?

I have retested this here but could not see a problem.
Test code on default grid:


procedure TForm4.AdvStringGrid1GetEditorType(Sender: TObject; ACol,
  ARow: Integer; var AEditor: TEditorType);
begin
  AEditor := edCustom;
  AdvStringGrid1.EditLink := MoneyEditLink1;
end;

procedure TForm4.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  advstringgrid1.Options := advstringgrid1.Options + [goEditing];
end;


Type in some numeric value in the control and then press '-' and you'll see the negative sign. If you press '-' again, it will toggle the negative sign.

I'm not sure what you mean with "the 10 key to do the math..." will not work?

Bruno,


Thank you for the reply.

Sorry, I failed to mention I am working with AdvColumnGrid.  

By ten key I mean when you use your keyboard to do math.  Like the key strokes "2 "  "+"  "2"  "Enter" gets you 4 in the cell.

The key sequence to do this is:


type key 2 
type key +
type key 2
type key =

Bruno,


I can provide you a sample project with only a AdvColumnGrid and a AdvMoneyEditLink on it and you will see it does not accept a "-" negative sign or accept key sequence math.

You can send your sample project to help@tmssoftware.com.

Thank you for this.  I have just emailed a sample project.
