How to Set Focus to Child Add New Row

[Anumeha]

Is there a way to programmatically set the focus to the first cell in a child add new row?

Hi Anumeha,

You can use following sample code snippet for your scenario:

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radGridView1.ChildRows.Count > 0)
    {
        this.radGridView1.ChildRows[0].IsExpanded = true;
        GridViewHierarchyRowInfo row = this.radGridView1.ChildRows[0] as GridViewHierarchyRowInfo;
        if (row != null)
        {
            this.radGridView1.CurrentRow = row.ActiveView.TableAddNewRow;
            this.radGridView1.CurrentColumn = row.ActiveView.ViewTemplate.Columns[0];
        }
    }
}

Hello Julian,
    I have a hierarchical grid, the parent row of which is user input and I fill the child rows dynamically through a datasource. The problem is on UserAddedRow event I am unable to focus the child row's first column. I have used the code snippet you provided but it doesn't seem to work. Here is the code which I am using :

foreach (GridViewColumn column in gvStockDetail.Relations[0].ChildTemplate.Columns)
{
    if (column.IsVisible && !column.ReadOnly)
    {
        gvStockDetail.Relations[0].ChildTemplate.CurrentColumn = column;
        break;
    }
}

Hello Ovais,

For this behavior you can use the CurrentColumn and the CurrentRow properties of RadGridView control.

foreach (GridViewColumn column in gvStockDetail.Relations[0].ChildTemplate.Columns)
{
    if (column.IsVisible && !column.ReadOnly)
    {
        gvStockDetail.CurrentColumn = column;
        break;
    }
}

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.
