Hello David ,

Can you share a bit more details , what exactly is the expected behavior of such setup ?  And what is going wrong  ?

Kind regards,

what i expect to happen is that when autoedit is set to true
the dataform is set to edit mode as soon as a current item is available

i had hacked this by using a "beginedit" to force the dataform into edit mode

heres the stange thing ... i removed the beginedit and it is working now as i expected
it to

i  just did remove all of my old telerik installations because of strange behavior i was having 
so i guess
that is why it was acting strange or possibly i was asleep at the wheel

bottom line ... it is working ... sorry for bothering you pavel 

on another note (related)
if autoedit is set to true the edit button does not show
is there anyway to change that ... i like the button to show to indicate to the people they are expected to input something.
i do have a workaround (autoedit=false .... beginedit when current item is changed)
so no big deal if not

thanks pavel

Hello David Ocasio,

Good to hear it works. Actually I believe I know what has happened - indeed we had such issue with the beta version and after some feedback form clients , we have fixed it.

Regarding your second question  - the default behavior would be to hide the edit button when AutoEdit is set to true. Your solution is good  ( calling BeginEdit) . An alternative would be to tamper with the template of RadDataForm and remove the visibility binding from the edit button.

All the best,
