[Solved] Edit mode cancel button popup selects the row beneath

[Erik]

Hi,

My scenario is that I have a RadDataGrid and a boolean column to the far left. I want to be able to select items in the list and the checkbox to be checked. My solution right now is that SelectionChanged on the grid calls Begin Edit on the selected item, so the checkbox can easily be checked with one additional click. However upon closing edit mode with "Cancel button popup" (see image in http://www.telerik.com/help/windows-8-xaml/datagrid-editing-editoperation.html ) the row beneath the button is selected, and so edit mode is started for that row.

Do anyone have a fix for this, or perhaps another way of solving my problem? I have a chart that should be updated upon selecting the row, and it must be a checkbox dislaying selected rows in the grid.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Erik,

Thank you for contacting us.

We have to admit that there is a bug in the RadDataGrid control. As a workaround, if you use the Editing UI only to edit the CheckBoxes, you can disable it and use a DataGridTemplateColumn with a CheckBox as CellContentTemplate. Thus you can check/uncheck the CheckBoxes without using the Editing UI. 

Please, let us know if this works for you. I have also updated your Telerik points as a token of gratitude for bringing this issue to our attention.
