How to focus control in CellEditTemplate without mouse usage

[Wirat Chinnan]

When I press "Tab Button" for shifting to the next column that use CellEditTemplate, program will shift and focus on next column correctly but I cannot edit in the cell instantly when cell is focusing. So I must use mouse to click on the cell to make cursor appear and be able to edit data in that column. Is it possible to edit data without using mouse click (just only press tab button) ? If so, How can I do it?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

You can  add the loaded event handler to whatever control is used in the CellEditTemplate.

 

 

 

<DataTemplate x:Name="CellTemplate_ShortDescription">

 

 

 

<TextBox x:Name="Text_ShortDescription" Loaded="EditTextBox_Loaded"
Text="{Binding ShortDescription, Mode=TwoWay}" Height="200" AcceptsReturn="True"

 

 

VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" TextWrapping="Wrap"

 

 

BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2" Margin="5"/>

 

 

 

</DataTemplate>

 

 

 

In the loaded event  put the code to focus on this control. 
 
 Private Sub  EditTextBox_Loaded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)

   Dim textbox = TryCast(sender, TextBox)
    textbox.SelectAll()
   textbox.Focus()

End Sub

Hi All,
    I have a similar requirement but I am adding the texbox to the celledittemplate in the dynamic code and hence i am not able to add the handler "EditTextBox_Loaded". Does anyone have any suggestion for this?

Thanks,
Dhileep

Hello,

You can inherit from desired grid column and add desired control programmatically using CreateCellEditElement similar to this post.
