Hi,
I wanted to know if it is possible to display edit controls only when the mouse is over the row.
I mean by that that if there is a combobox in a cell, the combobox is not visible as long as i am not overing the mouse on a row. Instead of the combobox, we should see the text only. This allow to have a clean datagrid not clustered with tons of controls and, be able to edit easily with the mouse.
Thank you!

You can control when a cell is entering edit mode calling the BeginEdit() method and committing the value using CommitEdit(). Attached you can find an example project that enables editing cell values on hovering.
If you have any more questions do not hesitate to contact us.

I don't really like all that code behind. It sounds like a WinForm way of working. So I made myself a more XAML oriented way of doing it, and i ended up with:
<Style TargetType="{x:Type telerik:GridViewCell}">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsMouseOver" Value="true">
<Setter Property="IsInEditMode" Value="True"/>
<Setter Property="IsCurrent" Value="True"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
It is working. I would like to know if you have any warning about that or if it is safe.
Thank you.

I am happy that you prefer using Xaml approach and came with this alternative solution. I believe that in your case editing cell style will work fine.
