dont know - this could be a bug

With some grids/fields, typing in a cell that has focus goes automatically to edit mode (behaviour #1)

with others, typing in a cell that has focus moves the focus to a cell that starts with whatever you've typed (i.e. search as opposed to edit mode) (behaviour #2)

Now,

I've noticed that this can vary from grid to grid with the same field -

e.g. my field "BillingNumber" has behaviour #1 in one grid and bahaviour #2 in another

Is this a grid specific setting ? (or a bug?)

could it possibly be related to the setting which dictates whether typing adds text to cell or replaces text in cell (cant for the life of me find that setting anywhere...)

Comments

Yes this is a Grid setting: Auto-Search (CTRL-F3)

have to get more used to using that,

thanks Pierre!

EDIT/

any idea where "the setting which dictates whether typing adds text to cell or replaces text in cell" is ??

Edit > Overstrike or click on the OVR on the toolbar.

This setting applies to text and date fields. Number fields are always in overstrike

note: should date fields always be in overstrike too? Comments welcomed here

EDIT/ removed post - I missed the obvious I think

What does "default" signify on the Field management dialog, compared with "start with" or "contains"? [node 68]

Default is defined in Tools > Options. This allows a quick change of the behaviour for all fields
