"Click here to add new row" not always visible

[simon]

Hi,

It seems if I use the RadGridView, 
the option "click here to add new row" is only visible after I edited the first row.
If i use 'tab' to navigate through the cells i eventually enter a new second row.
But at that moment the option "click here to add new row" is not available anymore.
Is it possible to make that option ALWAYS available and make it not dissapear when i enter a new row by 'tabbing'

thanks,
simon

Hello Simon,

In order to be able to add new rows through the "Click here to add new item" placeholder in RadGridView, you must enable the NewRowPosition property. Please find attached a sample project  I set up for you.

Let me know how it works for you.

Best Regards,

Hi,

I know you can set the NewRowPosition property but the problem is: it works only after the first row.

if i click on that option a second row appears -> this is ok

now i see 2 rows but  the "Click here to add new item" placeholder is not visible anymore, now i can only add a third row by tabbing through the second row. Adding a new row should only be possible by the "Click here to add new item" placeholder

Hi Simon,

If you want to keep the "Click here to add new item" placeholder visible, you must add new items by pressing the Enter key. If you add an item by tabbing through the row cells, the placeholder will disappear, but even then when you press Enter for adding a new item, the placeholder will appear again.
