Update GridViewCell Value in UI in Edit Mode

[Anton]

Hello.

I need update value of RadGridView GridViewCell then she in Edit Mode.

I use MainGrid.BeginningEdit event:

private void MainGridOnBeginningEdit(object sender, GridViewBeginningEditRoutedEventArgs args)
        {
            if(args == null || args.Cell.Value != null) return;

            if (BeginningCellEditEvent != null)
                BeginningCellEditEvent.Invoke(args);
        }

In BeginningCellEditEvent handler i try set new cell value:

private void ActivityDateFactTable_OnBeginningCellEditEvent(GridViewBeginningEditRoutedEventArgs args)
        {
            if((args?.Cell == null || args.Cell.Value != null)) return;
            if(!(args.Row.DataContext is ViewModel viewModel)) return;

            var bindingPath = args.Cell.DataColumn.DataMemberBinding.Path
                                                                            .Path
                                                                            .Replace("[", "")
                                                                            .Replace("]", "")
                                                                            .Split('_');
            if(bindingPath.Length < 3) return;            
            var calcValue = viewModel.GetCalculatedValue(bindingPath[0]);
            if (calcValue != null)
            {                
                args.Cell.Value = calcValue;                
                args.Cell.UpdateLayout();
            }
        }

or

private void ActivityDateFactTable_OnBeginningCellEditEvent(GridViewBeginningEditRoutedEventArgs args)
        {
            if((args?.Cell == null || args.Cell.Value != null)) return;
            if(!(args.Row.DataContext is ViewModel viewModel)) return;

            var bindingPath = args.Cell.DataColumn.DataMemberBinding.Path
                                                                            .Path
                                                                            .Replace("[", "")
                                                                            .Replace("]", "")
                                                                            .Split('_');
            if(bindingPath.Length < 3) return;            
            var calcValue = viewModel.GetCalculatedValue(bindingPath[0]);
            if (calcValue != null)
            {    
                this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke
                ((Action) delegate
                    {
                        args.Cell.Value = calcValue;
                        args.Cell.UpdateLayout();                   
                    }
                );
            }
        }

Cell.Value is changed, but in UI not updated (as seen on screenshot).

How i can update value in UI after changing him in code and i need that cell stays in edit mode?

Hello Anton,

You can update the initial value of the editing element in the following manner:

            if (calcValue != null)
            {
                Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
                {
                    var tb = args.Cell.GetEditingElement() as TextBox;
                    tb.Loaded += (s, e) =>
                    {
                        tb.Text = calcValue.ToString();
                        tb.SelectAll();
                    };
                }));
            }

Please note that this will only work for columns that create a TextBox as their editing element and you may need to handle other types of editing controls respectively.

Do let me know if such an approach works for you.
