Focus Cell After Replacing Row

[KWUN WA]

Hi,

I have an advanced MVVM scenario with a GridView hosting an ObservableCollection via ItemsSource. The grid has some complicated editing scenarios, and in one case, I need to replace an object in my collection (due to a conversion where the underlying object needs to be converted to a different type). After the underlying object is replaced, the grid is updated as expected. The problem is that I want to preserve focus on the cell that was being edited, so the user can keep typing to continue editing.

This seems to work fine if it's the first row being edited. I have tried hooking into the RowEditEnded event and using grid.ScrollIntoViewAsync() or cell.Focus() without any success.

Please can someone provide any advice?

Thanks!

Hello,

Could you please have a look at this article which demonstrates how to set the current cell of a RadGridView instance by using the CurrentCellInfo class?

As long as you have access to the new item and the column of the current cell, this approach should be applicable to your scenario.

Hi Dilyan,

Thanks for your reply. I seem to have got a solution by monitoring the items source for changes and then using ScrolIntoViewAsync. After scrolling is completed, I use the scrollFinishedCallback to call cell.Focus() and cell.IsCurrent = true.

However, there seems to be one more problem with the RadGridView. The items source is bound to an ObservableCollection<Base>. Some of the items are Foo and some are Bar. In cases where all items are Foo, and then I subsequently try to add a Bar, I'm seeing an InvalidCastException somewhere internally in the RadGridView. This seems to prevent the CellEditEnded event from firing.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello,

I'm glad to hear that you've found a solution to your first issue.

I am, however, unable to reproduce the second issue you've described. Could you please have a look at the sample project I've attached and let me know if I'm missing something important?

If you're unable to reproduce the issue in the attached project, may I kindly ask you to open a new support ticket and send over a sample project which demonstrates the issue there so that I may further assist you?

I will be awaiting your reply.

Hi Dilyan,

Thanks very much for your response and sample project. Indeed it doesn't seem to occur in your sample, and now I'm having trouble reproducing as well. Not sure if something changed on my side.

Will submit a new support ticket if it reoccurs.
