Grid cell Editing

[Ramraj]

Hi

Am using inline editing ,setting  item to edit mode in grid prerender event it takes long time to rebind.

Is there workaround for it.

Also i use another method , when i load the grid initially  i use editindexes.add to set all the items in edit mode but when i navigate to next page the grid is not rendering in edit mode.

since our company is facing more issues in telerik am facing hard time to convince my manager.

Please help it is urgent.

Hello Sathya,

You can find a working implementation of Excel-like RadGrid in the following code-library:
Excel-like RadGrid CL

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for providing me a sample application.
I did the same adding the rows to editindexes in databinding event.Initial page loading renders properly the rows with edit mode
My issue is with paging,while i navigate page , i notice while debugging the griddataitems are in editmode but the rows are not rendering in edit mode.
if i do the same thing in prerender mode and fire rebind  it renders properly but takes longtime for page navigation.

Is there a way to avoid rebind.Please it urgent to complete my POC.

Hello Sathya,

The only way to set all RadGrid's items for all pages to edit mode is to add all items indexes to the RadGrid.EditIndexes collection and call Rebind() method. There is not other way to achieve the desired functionality.

Additionally if you worry about the performance of the applications we have many optimization techniques and I am sure some of them will be of great help for your project . The info below summarize the most important performance info we already have in our documentation resources:

Hello.

Do you plan at Telerik to implement cell input like in Excel. In other words the possibility to enter values in cells without switching to edit mode like we do now. No need to be Excel compatible (formulas, formatting, etc). Just fast input.

That would be a great feature !

Thanks

Hi Augusto,

Currently we do not have plans to support the Excel-like behavior you request out-of-the-box. You may consider utilizing the solution from the code library entry linked previously in this thread.
