CellValueChanged not firing

[Richard Slade]

Hello,

The CellValueChanged event never seems to fire in the GridView.

I have an event handler on this event, but it never seems to be picked up

Hi Richard Slade,

Thank you for contacting us. CellValueChanged event is triggered when the user enters a specified value in the cell. Please, note that this typically occurs when a cell loses focus. This implies that the CellValueChanged event will be triggered if the user has changed the value of the cell and has left the cell, changing the focus to another control.

I guess that instead of CellValueChanged, you need an event that triggers whenever the value of the cell is modified. In this case you should handle ValueChanging event. For more information, please refer to this article.

I hope this is helpful. If you have further issues, do not hesitate to contact me back.

Ok, thanks Boryana,
Slightly confusing naming convention, but I'll give that a go. Thanks for the reply.

Dear Telerik,

What is the difference between ValueChanged and CellValueChanged events?

Hello MP,

Basically, the ValueChanged event is raised after each cell value change, even if that change is not yet applied to the grid.
The CellValueChanged event is fired just when the value of a cell has been changed.

Please take a look at this help article related to the Data Editing Event Sequence.

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Best Regards,

Hello MP,

Thank you for this question. The ValueChanged event is fires when the active editor changes its value. The CellValueChanged event instead fires after closing the editor and persisting the value in the data layer. There is one exception, the ValueChanged event fires when there is no active editor and the cell value is changed programmaticaly. Find more information regarding editor related events in our online help. 

Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Sincerely yours, Jack
