Start edit mode with keyboard ? was created by
To start editing a cell i must double click into the cell. How can i start editing with keyboard? In Excel you can start editing by press F2 oder type characters, digits etc.. I want to have the same behaviour.
Thanks

You can set various options for the start cell editing. For this purposes grid has GridEditorActivationPolicy enumerator and GridEditorRepository::setEditorActivationPolicy(GridEditorActivationPolicy policy) function. However, it does not provide start editing by pressing F2. To do that you need to catch F2 press event and invoke - GridViewBase::showEditor() function.

Hi,
i insert the following into your largedataset demo:
column = (Qtitan::GridTableColumn *)view->getColumn(2);
    column->setEditorType(Qtitan::StringEditorType);

	Qtitan::GridEditorActivationPolicy editorPolicy = Qtitan::DblClick | Qtitan::KeyPress | Qtitan::Enter;
	column->editorRepository()->setEditorActivationPolicy(editorPolicy);
	column->editorRepository()->setAutoSelect(true);

    //Add cell button to the column.
    column->addButton(Qtitan::TextButton, Qtitan::RightPosition);
    column->addButton(Qtitan::ChoiceButton, Qtitan::RightPosition);

When a string cell i selected and i press a character, then the editor will displayed and the hole text is selected but the character is lost. It's the same behaviour as KeyPress_WithEating.
