CellHolding Command

Updated on Mar 26, 2026

The CellHolding command handles the hold gesture on a grid cell. The default implementation will attempt to execute the CellFlyoutAction command for the specified cell.

Execution Parameter

The execution parameter is of type CellHoldingContext and exposes the following properties:

• HoldingState—Gets the HoldingState reported from the Holding event.
• CellInfo—Gets the DataGridCellInfo instance with which the cell is associated providing access to its column and data item.

Custom CellFlyoutAction Command

The following examples show how to create a class that inherits from the DataGridCommand and add it to the Commands collection.

Create a Custom CellHolding Command

C#

public class CustomCellHoldingCommand : DataGridCommand
{
	public CustomCellHoldingCommand()
	{
		this.Id = CommandId.CellHolding;
	}

	public override bool CanExecute(object parameter)
	{
		var context = parameter as CellHoldingContext;
		// put your custom logic here
		return true;
	}

	public override void Execute(object parameter)
	{
		var context = parameter as CellHoldingContext;
		// put your custom logic here          

		this.Owner.CommandService.ExecuteDefaultCommand(CommandId.CellHolding, context);     
	}
}

Add the Custom Command to the Commands Collection

XAML

<Grid xmlns:grid="using:Telerik.UI.Xaml.Controls.Grid">
	<grid:RadDataGrid Width="600" Height="460" x:Name="grid" Hold>
		<grid:RadDataGrid.Commands>
			<local:CustomCellHoldingCommand/>
		</grid:RadDataGrid.Commands>
	</grid:RadDataGrid>
</Grid>
