Odd Behavior after changing CurrentRow

[Phillip Foster]

Ok I have a GridView on my form. The GridView datasource is a DataTable. 
the datatable columns types are:    bool (checkbox), text, text, text.
I set all the grid columns to read only except for the first one, to allow the user to check/uncheck to box. 

I also have a timer that ticks every 7 seconds and refreshes the datatable. 
Everything works fine to this point. 

Within the tick event i save the selected row, and then select it again after the data refresh, so the highlighted row doesn't pop back up to the top. 

private void tTickets_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   int selectedrow = gridview.CurrentCell.RowIndex;
   GetData();
   gridview.CurrentRow = gvMassTickets.Rows[selectedrow];
}

 
The problem is, when it does this, column[0] (the check box column) becomes readonly. 
if i comment out the "gridview.CurrentRow = gvMassTickets.Rows[selectedrow];"
it works just fine.

Hello Phillip,

Try setting the columns to be readonly true / false with: radGridView.MasterTemplate.Columns[0].ReadOnly = true / false, and if this still doesn't work please give me additional details about what happens in GetData()

Hello Phillip,

Thank you for contacting us.

We investigated the case you described and this helped us to find the following issue in RadGridView: if RadGridView is in EditMode, some changes of the DataSource object are made and the current row is changed, the EditMode becomes permanent. We will address this issue in a future version.

As a workaround you can use the CurrentRowChanging event to cancel changing the current row if the RadGridView control is in EditMode:

private void radGridView1_CurrentRowChanging(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.CurrentRowChangingEventArgs e)
{
    if (this.radGridView1.IsInEditMode)
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

It should correct the control's behavior in your scenario.
