add in your columns tag this code

<telerik:GridEditCommandColumn ButtonType="ImageButton">
</telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>

I'm looking for edit without Click Edit Button. Just like the sample:
http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/calendar/examples/datepicker/shareddatepicker/defaultcs.aspx?product=grid

Hello Helen,

You can put all items in edit mode without using EditColumn in pageload or prerender as shown below. Let me illustrate.
1)PageLoad:
C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 for (int i = 0; i < RadGrid1.PageSize; i++)
 {
   RadGrid1.EditIndexes.Add(i);
 }
}

2)PreRender:
C#:

protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 if (!IsPostBack)
 {
  foreach (GridItem item in RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items)
  {
    if (item is GridEditableItem)
    {
      GridEditableItem editableItem = item as GridDataItem;
      editableItem.Edit = true;
    }
  }
   RadGrid1.Rebind();
 }
}

Hope this helps.
NB: I looked into the code and saw Edit=true within Radgrid. I am not sure if such a property exists for Radgrid. Did you get to type that in?

Regards,
Shinu.

It works! Thank you so much for your help!

I know this post is pretty old. I needed the same functionality and got it to work with one issue. Only the last row of a multi row grid has the one field editable. I need all the cells of just one column editable. Any help would be great. Thanks,

Okay, I found this for the table which makes all rows for the Quantity column editable:

AllowMultiRowEdit="true"

No my problem is that when I change the values for the column and then attempt to loop through the table values I don't get any values. It seems like I have to flip the table out of edit mode. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Hello Lee,

You can check the following Code Library that achieves row and column editing: https://www.telerik.com/support/code-library/edit-all-cells-of-a-specific-column-with-radgrid-using-inplace-editing.
