start edit mode on-key-down

[Matt]

Hello all,

First of all, I have done some searching on the Telerik forums (and using Google) to find my desired behavior, but I haven't been able to find quite what I'm looking for.  If there is another post or how-to that I missed, please direct me there.

I am working with the WPF GridView control, and want to duplicate the behavior of the current WPF Toolkit DataGrid, with regards to editing.  When you are focused on a cell (in the WPF DataGrid), you can immediately start typing, and the input cell will switch to edit mode and record that first key stroke, and continue in edit mode.  (Think Microsoft Excel as another example.)  I have been playing with the RadControls WPF Demo App, and cannot find any example that behaves in this fashion.  Speed of data entry is a prime consideration for our users, and most will be using a tablet pc, so the act of double-clicking to change to edit mode makes for an inconvenient extra step.

Hopefully my description is clear...  any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Matt.
