[Solved] teleric grid view row delete

[Nishad Pillai]

Like the insert key functionality to insert new row in teleric gridview  ,is there any functionality to invoke the delete key on a teleric grid view row in silverlight instead of the context menu.Expect for a postive reply.
Thanks in advance

Handle the KeyUp event on the grid, and do the delete action there:

private void Grid_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
//if the user presses the delete button, then delete the currently selected records
if (e.Key == Key.Delete)
{
//psuedocode...
Grid.Items.Remove(Grid.SelectedItem);
return;
}
}

thanks for your reply jax.But to get the keyup event we have to click in the cell.I need to get the event after selecting the entire row and pressing the delete button.I checked with key up event for the row,it wiil not get fired.

Hi Nishad,
Me too facing the same issue . I am surprised to see why this basic feature is not supported by telerik.
The grid is not firing key events until we do it at the cell level.

Hi guys,

I believe you may use the following code snippet. RadGridView here is bound to a List<Person> collection.

If you bind to a collection capable of change notifications ( e.g. ObservableCollection) you may ommit the .Rebind() call.

public partial class MainPage : UserControl
    {
        public MainPage()
        {

            InitializeComponent();
            this.RadGridView1.ItemsSource = Person.GetSampleListOfPersons();
            this.AddHandler(UIElement.KeyDownEvent, new KeyEventHandler(MouseDownOnCell), true);
        }

        private void MouseDownOnCell(object sender, KeyEventArgs args)
        {
            if (args.Key == Key.Delete && this.RadGridView1.SelectedItem!= null)
            {
                ((List<Person>)this.RadGridView1.ItemsSource).Remove((Person)this.RadGridView1.SelectedItem);
                this.RadGridView1.Rebind();
            }
        }
    }
