Automatic EditMode and CellTemplate

[Heiko]

Hi!

When I bind a GridView to an QCV and klick in a cell the cell/row is in edit-mode and I can change the content of the cell. The moment I use a CellTemplate this functionality is gone, no automatic edit-mode, nothing. Here the example which works:



<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
    UniqueName="BoilerplateName"
    IsGroupable="False"
    Width="200"
    Header="Name" />

This one is not working - no edit-mode whatsoever:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Name}"
                           UniqueName="BoilerplateName"
                           IsGroupable="False"
                           Width="200"
                           Header="Name">
    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBox Text="{Binding Name, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}"
                     AcceptsReturn="True"
                     MaxLength="4000"
                     TextWrapping="Wrap" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Hello Neils,

The described behavior is an expected one, since you have defined an editor as CellTempate, which represents the view mode of RadGridView. A possible way to go about this is to use the CellEditTemplate property of the desired column, which is the edit mode. For more information about both properties you can refer to the Setting CellTemplate and CellEditTemplate documentation article.

I hope this helps.
