Putting a cell into edit mode on click?

[Andy]

Currently you have to click twice on a cell to enter edit mode it seems. Is there a way to trigger edit mode on the cell on the initial click of the cell?

Thanks

Hi Andy,

We plan to introduce some other (except DoubleClick) conditions to put GridViewCell into EditMode, but I cannot commit with any specific date or release.

For now I can suggest you a workaround with a few lines of code. All you have to do is to subscribe to RadGridView.CurrentCellChanged event and call RadGridView.BeginEdit() method. I'm attaching my test application for your reference.

I need to enter edit mode on single click too.

Hi,

 You can set EditTriggers="CellClick" to achieve this.

It is very good!
But the checkbox cell still need click twice to changed the value.
Thanks!

Hi mjohn mjohn,

You can use our dedicated CheckBox column which has some extra property "AutoSelectOnEdit" that solves this problem:

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn EditTriggers="CellClick" AutoSelectOnEdit="True" Header="Active" DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsActive}" />

I hope this helps.

This Still not doing on single click, need 2 click one for selecting the row and other for select and deselct the value of the checkbox.

here is how i implemented

 

<telerik:RadGridView x:Name="gridView"
                        EditTriggers="CellClick"
                        AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                        ColumnWidth="*"
                        CanUserFreezeColumns="False"
                        VerticalAlignment="Top"
                        AlternationCount="2"
                        ItemsSource="{Binding MathchedRecords}"
                        SelectedItem="{Binding UserSelectedItem, Mode=TwoWay}"
                         ShowGroupPanel="False" Grid.Row="1"
                         BeginningEdit="gridView_BeginningEdit"
                         SelectedCellsChanged="gridView_SelectedCellsChanged">
                        <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                            <telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn AutoSelectOnEdit="True" Header="   " DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsSelected}"   />
                            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Code" DataMemberBinding="{Binding ValueKey}" IsReadOnly="True"   />
                            <telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Description" DataMemberBinding="{Binding DisplayDescription}" IsReadOnly="True" />
                        </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                    </telerik:RadGridView>

Hello Hrushikesh,

Actually, you need to combine that property with the EditTriggers="CellClick" for that column:

<telerik:GridViewCheckBoxColumn AutoSelectOnEdit="True" Header="   " DataMemberBinding="{Binding IsSelected}" EditTriggers="CellClck" />

This way, only one click should be enough to change the checked state of the column.

Best wishes,

Hello Krishna,

Attached you can find a sample project with CellEditTemplateSelector. Are you able to get the problem on it? Is there anything specific in your scenario?

Is there a simple way to allow single click on a cell to enter edit mode in a GridView, but double click to fire a different command and have the cell not enter edit mode?

[Yoan]

Hi Scott,

You can set the EditTriggers property of the column to CellClick. In this way the cells will enter edit mode with a single click only. As for the DoubleClick event - I suppose that you want to commit the edit operation on this event, since the cell will be already in edit mode when the event is raised (due to the first mouse click). So, you can handle GridView's MouseDoubleClick event and invoke grid's CommitEdit method. Then you will be able to execute your own command.

I hope this helps.
