Add and select new row on Grid Enter Event

[Khalid]

I have a problem focusing the Telerik RadGridView by keyboard,

I need to accomplish the following :-

if the grid is empty it should add a new row and select the first visible row and column in edit mode
else
it should not add a new row but select the first visible row and column in edit mode.

I tried many currentrow, currentcell , isselected and beginedit() but to no avail :(

Hello Khalid,

Thank you for writing.

Please refer to the following code snippet, which demonstrates how to achieve the desired functionality:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        radGridView1.Columns.Add("col 1");
        radGridView1.Columns.Add("col 2");
        radGridView1.Columns.Add("col 3");
        radGridView1.Enter += new EventHandler(radGridView1_Enter);
    }

    void radGridView1_Enter(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (radGridView1.Rows.Count == 0)
        {
            radGridView1.Rows.Add("test", "test", "test");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine(radGridView1.ChildRows.Count);
            radGridView1.ChildRows[0].IsCurrent = true;
            radGridView1.Columns[0].IsCurrent = true;
        }
        radGridView1.BeginEdit();
    }
}

my grid is data bound.

the code you provided did not work,

but here is the solution

radgridview1.crrentrow.cells(0).isslected = true
radgridview1.crrentrow.cells(0).beginedit()

Please excuse me for not providing you with a sample with bound grid. I just did not know that you are using such a grid, thus I created a small sample.

I am glad to hear that you have found a suitable solution for your case. Let us know if you have any other questions.

Kind regards,
