Clear focus on edited item when prepopulated

[Richard Weeks]

I have a grid that, upon new or edited record displays GridNumericColumns with partially prepopulated values (e.g. 1234).

When clicking the cell, the prepopulated value is highlighted. Any typing will clear the prepopulated value. I don't want that.

Ideally, I'd like the cursor to position after the partially prepopulated value when the user clicks the cell, so they can complete the value (e.g. 12345678).

Any ideas?

Hi Richard,

For this purpose you can set the SelectionOnFocus property of the numeric textbox to CaretToEnd, as shown below:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;
        (item["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0] as RadNumericTextBox).SelectionOnFocus = SelectionOnFocus.CaretToEnd;
    }
}

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,
