Control column selection

[Bob]

I want to use the RadGridView as a simple file explorer style display. To that end I have two columns, the first containing an icon and the second containing the filename.

While I don't mind the entire row highlighting on selection, I wish to configure the RagGridView so that it is always the second column that receives focus on selection change, this way when the user presses F2 the filename cell will enter edit mode. However I haven't found a way to do this yet. Setting the CurrentColumn on SectionChanged is having no effect.

Any suggestions please?

Got something that works.

private void OnRadGridView_CurrentCellChanged(object sender, GridViewCurrentCellChangedEventArgs e)
{
    GridViewCellInfo currentCell = _radGridView.CurrentCellInfo;

    if (currentCell != null
        && currentCell.Column != null &&
        currentCell.Column.UniqueName != "Name")
    {
        GridViewCellInfo newCell = new GridViewCellInfo(currentCell.Item, _radGridView.Columns["Name"]);
        _radGridView.CurrentCellInfo = newCell;
    }
}
