Prevent row from staying in edit mode?

[Steve]

It is causing a lot of issues for us that the row stays in edit mode if you click out from one cell into another. I would like to disable this but everything I have tried either doesn't work, or the cell flashes up into edit mode before the editor goes away.

 

For example, if I handle the CurrentCellChanged and either commit or cancel the edit, it just goes back into edit mode anyway. I can use BeginInvoke which kind of work but causes some other issues for me down the line.

Hello Steve,

The easiest approach that comes to mind for achieving the desired functionality would be to handle the PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown event and commit edit, if the RadGridView is currently in edit mode. Here is what I have in mind:

private void gridView_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.gridView.Items.IsEditingItem)
            {
                this.gridView.CommitEdit();
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }

Note, that in the above snippet "this.gridView" refers to the RadGridView instance that you are targeting. 

Can you give this approach a try and let me know, if it helps?

I am looking forward to your reply.
