Close Editor After Cell Edit

[Kyle]

When I edit a cell then move to another cell the editor is opened for the moved to cell. How do I change this behavior so the editor does not open when moving to a new cell?

Hello Kyle,

Thank you for writing.

You should create custom grid navigator and override the SelectCore method:

class MyBaseGridNavigator : BaseGridNavigator
{
    protected override bool SelectCore(GridViewRowInfo row, GridViewColumn column)
    {
        this.GridViewElement.EndEdit();
        return  base.SelectCore(row, column);
    }
}

You can change the default navigator like this:

radGridView1.GridViewElement.Navigator = new MyBaseGridNavigator();

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks for your response.

Your code worked when I'm editing a cell and use the arrow keys, but when I edit a cell and hit the enter key it moves to the cell below and puts it in edit mode.

Any ideas?

Hi Kyle,

Thank you for writing back.

To handle the Enter key you need to create a custom row behavior and override the ProcessEnterKey method. The following snippet shows this along with how you can register the new behavior:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    BaseGridBehavior gridBehavior = radGridView1.GridBehavior as BaseGridBehavior;
    gridBehavior.UnregisterBehavior(typeof(GridViewDataRowInfo));
    gridBehavior.RegisterBehavior(typeof(GridViewDataRowInfo), new CustomGridRowBehavior());
}

class CustomGridRowBehavior : GridDataRowBehavior
{
    protected override bool ProcessEnterKey(KeyEventArgs keys)
    {
        var result = base.ProcessEnterKey(keys);
        this.GridControl.EndEdit();
        return result;
    }
}

I hope this will be useful.
