Handling User's Long Press in RadDataGrid

[Nick]

I want to be able to handle when a user does a long press on a row, and get the data item as the parameter to the command. Is there a way to this already, or is the only solution to create a custom behavior that uses a custom gesture?

I have tried using community toolkit touchbehavior, since it is a platform behavior it does not have reference to the grid or data item. Binding the SelectedItem in the view model does not get set in time -- the value in the view model is null when the command fires. I also tried Binding the CommandParameter to the SelectedItem, binding to the dataGrid by reference, which is null in the command parameter as well.

Any suggestions are welcomed, thanks for reading.

Hello Nick,

We have this request logged as a feature request here: https://feedback.telerik.com/maui/1619280-datagrid-add-long-press-hold-selection-gesture-on-a-row-cell Press the vote button and follow button to track item's progress. Now there isn't an option to achieve hold/long press gesture. This must be implemented on control level. 

The gesture that is used in the control is the tap gesture. All commands the control provides are described here: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/maui/controls/datagrid/commands/overview
