Auto Block Select (Highlight) cell content on inline editing

Is there a way to automatically select (highlight) the content of the cell when the cell has been clicked for editing?

Hello Dvorak,


To highlight the text in the input fields, you could bind to the edit event, which is fired when the Grid enters in edit mode, find the input via jQuery and highlight the text with the select method. A sample implementation would be:
E.g.

function edit(e) {
    $(e.container).find("input[type=text]").select();
}

 

All the best,
