Hi all!

I've trouble to make formatted TNxNumberColumns (in my case FormatMask = '#0.00' and Precision = 2) behave sensible if the user starts editing them. Suppose he navigates to one of these cells and types 5678.

1. without coEditorAutoSelect: The user get's 5.00678, because the grid formats the cell text after typing the first character.
2. with coEditorAutoSelect: The user get's 678, because after typing the first character the cell text (5.00 at this moment) is autoselected and gets overwritten by the following characters.

Do you know of a solution? I don't care much if coEditorAutoSelect is enabled or not - however typing 5678 should result in a cell text of 5678.

Thanks in advance,
Uli.

Maybe I've found a solution to this:

1. In TNxCustomGridControl.EditCell, delete the variable EditText and all of its occurences.
2. Replace the line "Columns[ACol].UpdateEdit;" with
   CODE
     if Length(AText) > 0 then
       InplaceEdit.Text := AText
     else
     begin
       InplaceEdit.Text := Cells[ACol, ARow];
       Columns[ACol].UpdateEdit;
     end;

This leaves the "Key" parameter that TNxCustomGrid.KeyPress passes to EditCell as "AText" untouched (=unformatted) but retains the old behaviour in all other cases AFAICT.

Uli.
