Set new row in edit mode programartically

[Kim Bouchard]

Hi,

i've got some problems when i want to put a newly added row in edit mode through code.
My scenario is:
Q 2010 Sp2 GridView, which is bound to a BindindSource. The BindingSource is bound to an ObjectResult (EF4).
I wanted to add a new row via BindingSource.AddNew method.
Then i wanted the first cell of that newly added row to be in edit mode without any extra clicks.
The cell editor should be shown and ready to receive my input.

None of forums threads regarding "putting a cell in edit mode programatically" worked for me.
So i am looking for a general solution.

Kind Regards
Kim

Funny thing.
My last try now finally worked.

After calling BindingSource.AddNew i do Application.DoEvents() and
now everything works as expected.

I don't why, but i guess it is because of the sync process between CurrentRow and SelectedRow
and there are maybe some pending events, which gets processed by calling Application.DoEvents.

Maybe someone can confirm my thoughts ....

Kind Regards
Kim

Hi

Even though this is not using BindingSource, the effect should be the same.
Have a look at this forum post

hope that helps

Hi Richard,

thanks for your reply.
radGridview.BeginUpdate() and radGridView.EndUpdate() seems to solve the "problem".
I placed my BindingSource.AddNew between them.

The newly added row then can be setted into edit mode via radGridView.CurrentRow.Cells[0].BeginEdit().

Kind Regards
Kim
