How to keep a column in edit mode permenantly

[David]

How do I keep a column in edit mode permenantly.  I have an issue with boolean checkbox columns.  It is not intuitive for the users to have to click on the checkbox several times in order for it to check.

Hello David,

Currently you can do that by defining a simple CellStyle like this:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Stuff" DataMemberBinding="{Binding MyBoolProperty}">
    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellStyle>
        <Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
                        <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding MyBoolProperty}"/>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
            <Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
            <Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
            <Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Center"/>
            <Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Center"/>
        </Style>
    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellStyle>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

In some of our future release we will provide new API that will allow you to achieve the same result by setting a single property.
