[Solved] Select Cell Contents in Edit Mode

[Laura]

When a cell changes to edit mode the cursor is set at the beginning of the cell contents.

Here the ajax function:

function RowDblClick(sender, eventArgs) {
               editedRow = eventArgs.get_itemIndexHierarchical();
               $find("<%= RadGrid1.ClientID %>").get_masterTableView().editItem(editedRow);
           }

How can I select the cell contents at the time the cell goes into Edit mode?

Hi Laura,

You can use the following two client-side events to achieve the desired behavior:

<ClientSettings>
    <ClientEvents OnCommand="gridCommand" OnRowCreated="rowCreated" />
</ClientSettings>

JavaScript:

function gridCommand(sender, args) {

    if (args.get_commandName() == "Edit") {

        var editIndex = parseInt(args.get_commandArgument());

        // execute custom logic

    }

}

function rowCreated(sender, args) {

    if (args.get_item().get_isInEditMode()) {

        var editForm = args.get_item().get_editFormItem();

        // execute custom logic

    }

}

I hope this will prove helpful.

All the best,
