Last row always selected and the first cell in edit mode

[masha reznik]

Hi,
i need that my last row in grid will be always selected and that the first cell in this row will be in edit mode.
BeginEdit() doesnt work for me becouse my ItemSource is not obserableCollection, its a custom collection:

 public interface ICustomObservableCollection<T> : ICollection<T>, INotifyCollectionChanged, INotifyPropertyChanged
        where T : EntityBase2, IEntity2
    { }

    public class CustomObservableCollection<T> : ICustomObservableCollection<T>
        where T : EntityBase2, IEntity2
{}

Thanx

Hi masha reznik,

I guess you are referring to the BeginInsert method since the BeginEdit is independent of the data source type. In case you are indeed referring to BeginInsert method could you please take a look at the AddingNewdataItem method in our documentation .

In case you are referring to the BeginEdit method here is one possible implementation of automatic selection and editing of the last row:

public Page()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    RadGridView1.ItemsSource = new MyBusinessObjects().GetData(20);

    this.RadGridView1.Items.CollectionChanged += new NotifyCollectionChangedEventHandler(Items_CollectionChanged);
    this.RadGridView1.DataLoaded += new EventHandler<EventArgs>(RadGridView1_DataLoaded);
    this.RadGridView1.SelectionChanged += new EventHandler<SelectionChangeEventArgs>(RadGridView1_SelectionChanged);
}

private void RadGridView1_SelectionChanged(object sender, SelectionChangeEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.AddedItems.Count == 1)
    {
        this.EditRow(e.AddedItems[0]);
    }
}

private void RadGridView1_DataLoaded(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.RadGridView1.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(
        () =>
        {
            this.SelectLastRow();
            this.EditRow(this.RadGridView1.SelectedItem);
        }));
}

private void Items_CollectionChanged(object sender, NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
{
    this.SelectLastRow();
}

private void SelectLastRow()
{
    if (this.RadGridView1.Items.Count <= 0)
        return;

    this.RadGridView1.SelectedItem = this.RadGridView1.Items[this.RadGridView1.Items.Count - 1];
    this.RadGridView1.CurrentItem = this.RadGridView1.SelectedItem;
}

private void EditRow(object rowItem)
{
    if (rowItem == null)
        return;

    var rowToEdit = this.RadGridView1.ItemsGenerator.ContainerFromItem(rowItem) as GridViewRow;

    if(rowToEdit != null)
        rowToEdit.BeginEdit();
}
