Change GridView to EditMode when creating new row

[Jeff]

I have a gridview with 10 columns, only one is editable when not a new row. When I create a NewRow, I want that row to be editable. We've tried many different ways, but we can't get it to work. Any help would be welcome.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for writing.

You can use the CellBeginEdit method to cancel the edit operation for particular cells/columns. The following snippet shows how you can disable the data rows editing (the new row would be editable) for two columns: 

private void RadGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender, GridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row is GridViewDataRowInfo)
    {
        if (e.Column.Name == "Name" || e.Column.Name == "Date")
        {
            e.Cancel = true;
        }
    }
}

Let me know if you have additional questions.
