Edit Triggers On The Cell Level

[David]

Hi, 

Is there a way to set edit triggers on the cell level? I need that in the same column, some of the cells will have a different edit trigger value from other cells (depends on a certain bushiness logic condition that can be implemented in a converter, for example).

Hello David,

EditTriggers can be set only on Column or RadGridView level. However, you can mimic  this behaviour by handling the PreviewMouseDown event in this way:

private void clubsGrid_PreviewMouseDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
       {
           var clickedElement = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;
           var cell = clickedElement.ParentOfType<GridViewCell>();
           if (cell != null)
           {
               var club = cell.ParentRow.Item as Club; //this is the data object
               if (club.StadiumCapacity > 5)
               {
                   clubsGrid.CurrentCellInfo = new GridViewCellInfo(club, cell.Column);
                   this.clubsGrid.BeginEdit();
               }

           }
       }

In this way you will be able to enter in edit mode with a single click on items which StadiumCapacity is greater than 5 (this is the custom condition).

I hope this will work for you.

Thanks. Actually I find this approach inappropriate to my specific needs, but I found another solution -

1) The EditTrigger of the grid is always set to "CellClick".

2) The visibility of the CellEditTemlpate is bounded to a converter, that returns "Visible" in case the cell should be editable and "Hidden" in case not. This gives the user an illusion that the cell is not in edit mode, even though it is.

Hi David,

I am glad to hear that

I will research the possibility of exposing an EditTriggers property of the GridViewCell. I will update this thread when the research is finished.
