CancelEdit Command

Updated on Mar 10, 2026

The CanEdit command provides an entry point just before the editing is canceled.

Execution Parameter

The execution parameter is of type EditContext that exposes the following properties:

• CellInfo—Gets the cell information associated with the operation.
• TriggerAction—Gets the SourceTriggerAction value that triggered the operation.
• Parameter—Gets an optional parameter holding additional information associated with the operation.

Custom CancelEdit 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 CancelEdit Command

C#

	public class CustomCancelEditCommand : DataGridCommand
	{
	    public CustomCancelEditCommand()
	    {
	        this.Id = CommandId.CancelEdit;
	    }

	    public override bool CanExecute(object parameter)
	    {
	        return true;
	    }

	    public override void Execute(object parameter)
	    {
	        var context = parameter as EditContext;

			// put your custom logic here

	        // Executes the default implementation of this command
	        this.Owner.CommandService.ExecuteDefaultCommand(CommandId.CancelEdit, 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:CustomCancelEditCommand/>
			</grid:RadDataGrid.Commands>
		</grid:RadDataGrid>
	</Grid>
