Typing EditTrigger

[MiddleTommy]

1) Is there a way to have the currentcell enter edit mode when the user starts typing input?

2) Is there a way to move to the next column when the user presses enter?

Well I solved #2 by using the keydown event to simulate Tab when Enter is pressed

        void Enter_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Key == System.Windows.Input.Key.Enter)
            {
                e.Handled = true;
                FocusNavigationDirection focusDirection = FocusNavigationDirection.Next;
                TraversalRequest request = new TraversalRequest(focusDirection);
                UIElement elementWithFocus = Keyboard.FocusedElement as UIElement;
                // Change keyboard focus.
                if (elementWithFocus != null)
                    elementWithFocus.MoveFocus(request);
            }
        }

This code was not my invention. I found it on the internet but forget where.

Hello TWT,

This feature (EditTrigger when user starts typing) is in our TODO list. I cannot commit with any specific date or release, when this feature is ready we will make it public via our latest internal build program, so stay tuned.

Indeed solution for the second problem is very nice and helpful.

Best wishes,

Any news on the begin edit when you start typing on the current cell feature?

Hi TWT,

This feature is not available out of the box, since we faced some issues with Silverlight 3. We are doing our best to introduce this for the official SL 4 version (of course for WPF too). Meanwhile you can use the approach demonstrated in the attached example.

Kind regards,
