Keyboard display on selected item

[David]

I am trying to display the keyboard when a user clicks on the row you will see I am using xamrian dialog kit to launch a popup. However I have tried to display the keyboard which you will see below.

 

I tried using the following  but the keyboard is still not showing until the user enters the dialog kit field.

 

           new Entry()
           {
               Keyboard = Keyboard.Numeric
           };

 

 

private async void GrdMultipleBins_SelectionChanged(object sender, Telerik.XamarinForms.DataGrid.DataGridSelectionChangedEventArgs e)
   {

       if (grdMultipleBins.SelectedItem != null)
       {

           isSplitBin = true;
           var item = grdMultipleBins.SelectedItem as StockTakeAllItems;
           lblBin.Text = item.BinName;
           StockSheetCountItemId = item.StocktakeCountShtItemID;
           lblbarCode.Text = item.Barcode.ToString();
           lblStockCode.Text = item.Code;
           lblDescription.Text = item.Name;
           lblBin.Text = item.BinName;
           lblUomText.Text = item.StockUnitName;

           new Entry()
           {
               Keyboard = Keyboard.Numeric
           };

           var resultQty = await Plugin.DialogKit.CrossDiaglogKit.Current.GetInputTextAsync("Fuel", $"Please goto Bin {item.BinName} , and enter the visible stock of the item." + item.Name, null, Keyboard.Numeric);
           decimal.TryParse(resultQty, out decimal qtyCounted);

           if (resultQty == null) // hack user cancled here
           {


           }

           lblQtys.Text = qtyCounted.ToString();
           StockTakeTransaction stockTake = new StockTakeTransaction();
           stockTake.StockTakeCountSheetItemId = item.StocktakeCountShtItemID;
           stockTake.Quantity = qtyCounted;


           SaveFunction(sender, e);
       }


   }

Hello David,

The reason behind this behavior is because the keyboard is shown when the DataGrid is in edit mode. Let me explain in details: the keyboard is shown if you double tap on a cell and the DataGrid CellDoubleTap command is executed (which triggers begin edit command).

Solution:

You can show the keyboard when DataGrid Cell is tapped. So you will need to execute the BeginEdit command on CellTap. More details how this could be achieved can be found at the following thread from our forum:Single tap to edit cell.

I hope this will help.

Regards,
Didi
