  We have a screen with a usercontrol which contains a grid with 1 sheet.
  
  The sheet is dynamically built, and one of the cells is a comboboxcelltype, which should be the active cell so that the user can directly start to type in this cell. .DropDownWhenStartEditing = true.
  
  But even when I explitely say SheetFormline.FpSpread.Focus() the user still has to click first before he can start typing. This was not the case in FPspread7, and our users do not want to have extra clicks.
  
  What do I do wrong? When using a process explorer or investigate the events I see ‘killfocus’ on the way. How can I prevent that?
  
  Btw the cell is active, and has a border around it to show that it is the active cell.

  Hi Ellie,

  Unfortunately, we could not replicate the issue on our end. We created a sample application based on your scenario and found that clicking the active cell first was not necessary to start editing. Pressing a letter key immediately put the cell into edit mode. Please see the following GIF:

  

  We have also attached the sample application for your reference. [CmbCellEdit.zip] We kindly request you update the attached sample or provide a stripped down version of your sample application so that we could see the issue and investigate it further.

  Thanks & Regards,
