ItemEditTemplateSelector selects the editTemplate only for the first time - BUG?

[tomas]

Hi TElerik,

I am using

ItemEditTemplateSelector

This selector selects the right template according to properties of the databound object.

When I change that values, the selector does not reflects these changes. The selector is not called at all. Only for the first time when an item is edited for the first time. After that, the same edit template is used.

It seems to me this is a bug.

Thank you.

Tom

Hi Tom,

Let me make a quick clarification. All templates of the RadTreeVIew control are applied during the initialization of the control. After that they are cashed and called from memory for better performance and this is the expected behavior.

However, if you need to reload the ItemEditTemplateSelector please send us a sample project demonstrating your scenario so we will be able to suggest the best approach in your case.

Kind regards,

Hi Tom,

Let me get straight to your issue. It is caused because the RadTreeView control sets it's ItemEditTemplate before the PreviewEditStarted event is fired. So if you change the template on this event the control will not be aware of that change.

However, in order to overcome this you have to override the OnKeyDown event of the RadTreeViewItem and listen when the F2 (this key triggers the edit mode of the RadTreeView by default) key is pressed. By doing this, you can implement the custom logic for changing the templates before you call the base method. We have implemented this approach in the attached project. Please take a look at it and see if it works for you.

Keep in mind that this is considered as a bad practice and it may cause unexpected behavior.

On a side note, on the GetSupport page you'll see a Contact Support Team button which you can use to send a support ticket.

Kind regards,
