I'm attempting to set a given row to Edit Mode when an item in a row has a specific value. I've tried setting using GridEditableItem editableItem.Edit = true, but it seems like this only works for edit mode EditForms.
I found the answer to my question. I wasn't calling Rebind() in my OnPreRender event. I didn't realize this was necessary, but I started to notice it in similar answered, and that solved my problem.
