We are trying to use the RadGridView for a data entry app and want to allow people to enter vertical information quickly.  Here is the story we are trying to complete

User click on a databound column's cell (row 1 lets say) and puts it in edit mode.
User types a value and hits "Enter", the grid drops down a row and puts that cell into edit mode.
Repeat a couple hundred times.

How would we do this?

Hello Jason Shaver,

Unfortunately with the current version (2009.Q3.1314) there is no handy way to do that. That's why with the new version (2010.Q1) this behavior will be available out of the box. Please try our beta and let me know about the result.

All the best,

Hello guys,

I'm using version 2010.Q1. And I have just an opposite situation. I'm using BeginEdit to check some business logic conditions and then decide if editing a currently selected cell is allowed. I suppose that this operation can take some time and resources and in general can show me for example a confirmation dialog window, or something else that will certainly require user's attention and time. That is why I have been trying to get rid of autoselecting the next row and switching to edit mode. What I get: if I edit a cell and commit it by loosing focus - everything works fine, but if I commit it with pressing 'Enter' key, I will go to the next row and have let's say 300 confirmation dialog windows appeared and asking for something or saying that I can not perform some action (if my BL denies editing the next cell). That will be annoying I guess.

It's a really nice feature, but in my particular case I would like to disable it.

Hope for your help.

Hi Ibrahim Muckra,

I'm attaching a sample application that can give you some ideas how to meet your goals. Take a look at the CustomCommandProvider class and its usage.
