RadGridView follow New Row

[Chris]

Hi

I am using the WinForms RadGridView control in a project. I have achieved full CRUD with all the desired behaviours with one exception, that is when the user adds a row via the 'Click here to add a new row' line at the top of the grid the row is added fine, however the new row is not the currently selected row. On a larger data grid this often is off screen.



I can achieve it with a bit of a mash, but I'm sure that is not correct!



How do I make the newly added row the currently selected row?



Regards

Hello Chris,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

In order to select the new row after it is added by the user, you can use the UserAddedRow event and enable the new row's IsCurrent property: 

private void radGridView1_UserAddedRow(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    e.Row.IsCurrent = true;
}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

I can see your logic, but this doesn't work!

I have several events wired up, including SelectionChanged that auto save the data...



I want to avoid having a 'Save' button on the form



Thought?

Hello Chris,

Thank you for contacting us again.

I am not sure that I understand your consideration completely. When you add a new row to the RadGridView it is absolutely normal to fire the SelectionChanged event because the currently selected row is actually changed: from the new row to the newly added row. Could you please provide more details about your specific scenario and the expected behavior? Thus, we would be able to think about an appropriate solution if it is available to cover the specific requirement.

Thank you for the co-operation. I am looking forward to your reply.
