Bug With AutoEdit

[Ian]

Anyone encountered a problem with autoedit not working as intended.

I wanted to use a dataform as a simple data entry form for a single item. So i have bound my dataform CurrentItem to a single structure and i want it to go straight into edit mode instead of readonly mode.

If i remove the ReadOnlyTemplate i get a blank form. If i have both with autoedit set to true it defaults to the readonly template (no edit button appears ), but it seems to be selecting the incorrect template (readonly).

If i have both and turn autoedit false, i starts in readonly and the edit mode button functions correctly, i just want it to be automated so i dont have to manually click the edit button.

Any ideas what im doing wrong ?

                    <telerik:RadDataForm x:Name="AddSiteDataForm" AutoGenerateFields="False" AutoEdit="True" CurrentItem="{Binding NewSiteNode}" EditTemplate="{StaticResource AddSiteTemplate}" ReadOnlyTemplate="{StaticResource AddSiteTemplate}" >

<DataTemplate x:Key="AddSiteTemplate">
    <StackPanel>
        <telerik:DataFormDataField DataMemberBinding="{Binding SiteName,Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Site Name:" IsEnabled="True" />
        <telerik:DataFormDataField DataMemberBinding="{Binding SiteType,Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Site Type:" IsEnabled="True"/>
        <telerik:DataFormDataField DataMemberBinding="{Binding SiteLatitude,Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Latitude:" IsEnabled="True"/>
        <telerik:DataFormDataField DataMemberBinding="{Binding SiteLongitude,Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Longitude:" IsEnabled="True"/>
        <telerik:DataFormDataField DataMemberBinding="{Binding ProductionRegion,Mode=TwoWay}" Label="Production Region:" IsEnabled="True"/>
    </StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>

Hi Ian,

I have tested the behavior like follows:

<telerik:RadDataForm x:Name="AddSiteDataForm"
                         AutoGenerateFields="False"
                         AutoEdit="True"
                         CurrentItem="{Binding Clubs[0]}"
                         EditTemplate="{StaticResource AddSiteTemplate}" >

Without specifying ReadOnlyTemplate and everything works as expected. Is that your scenario ? What version are you working with ?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am using RadControls for Silverlight, v.2012.2.607.1050

What you have in your example is what i want to achieve, however with my behavior i just get a blank page unless i set a readonlytemplate despite being autoedit turned on.

Are you able to post an example project ?

Hi,

I am attaching the sample I used for the test. It uses binaries from our current official release - Q2 2013 SP.
