Not able to invoke RowEditEnded or CellEditEnded eventhandler from celltemplate type column of radgridview

[rajeev kumar]

I have used radgridview with celltemplate for column. I am not able to call  RowEditEnded or  CellEditEnded eventhandler on click of cell to edit the cell value. If I removed celltemplate used for binding, then it is working fine and corresponding celledittemplate is displaying and RowEditEnded or  CellEditEnded event handler is also invoking.But, if I am putting both inside GridViewDataColumn tag, it is not working. I am putting my code below for reference.



  <telerik:GridViewDataColumn DataMemberBinding="{Binding Path=FirstName}">
                 <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBox BorderThickness="0" Text= "{Binding FirstName}" Foreground="#0066cc"   Width="100" TextAlignment="Center" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBox BorderThickness="0" Text= "{Binding FirstName,Mode=TwoWay}" Foreground="#0066cc"   Width="100" TextAlignment="Center" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Please help me in that. I just want to call RowEditEnded or  CellEditEnded  method on click of cell for editing purpose. But that cell using celltemplate. It is very very urgent.

Hi rajeev kumar,

Generally both templates CellEditTemplate and CellTemplate are for editing. The reason that EditEnded events are not raised is that cell never enters into edit mode. Below is a modified version of your code, which will work fine.

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="FirstName" TextAlignment="Center" DataMemberBinding="{Binding FirstName}">
                    <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBlock Text="{Binding FirstName}" Background="LightGreen" Foreground="#0066cc" Width="100" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellTemplate>
                    <telerik:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBox BorderThickness="0" Text="{Binding FirstName,Mode=TwoWay}" Foreground="#0066cc" Width="100" TextAlignment="Center" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewColumn.CellEditTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

P.S. In order to raise RowEditEnded event with 2009.2.813 you should set radGridView.ValidationMode = ValidationMode.Row. There are some improvements regarding editing events with the latest internal build assemblies. One of these improvements is that RowEditEnded event is always raised no matter of the ValidationMode property value. By the way ValidationMode property will be obsolete with 2009.Q3 release.
