[Solved] Excel type editing

[Alex]

I've had myself and my team start learning MVC, I have a small project that I think would be great start for our MVC delopment.

I've hit somewhat of a small wall and I'm really hoping the community can come to my aid. We live in a world of editable grids (thanks excel) and the thing I've not been able to replicate using the Telerik MVC grid is have it editable all the time (every cell editable and simply navigate around).

Neither the inline or batch editing are adequate, we're talking of a data entry type screen where someone will have dozens to hundrends of rows of data to create/edit so clicking from one cell to the other or have them press a edit/update button per row is really not that pleasant.

We've looked at other MVC grids out there but I'd really like to stay with Telerik as we've used this for ever and ever and don't necessarly want to shell out another 1 to 2k for another suite.

Any help in pointing me to a solution would be greatly appreciated.

Right now I am seriously thinking of going back to either ASP.Net Ajax or Silverlight for this project and put MVC on the back burner.

Thanks

Are you planning on saving every time you lose focus of a textbox? Or with a button?

You can use the clienttemplate to display textboxes and then save at will

Hi guys,

 Alex, you can try using InCell editing with the "edit on tab" feature enabled:
.KeyboardNavigation(kbd => kbd.EditOnTab(true))

I believe this would help in the described scenario.
