If I configure the grid to allow row "delete", then when I am on a PC with a mouse, if I hover over a row I can see the delete icon (the "x"). On mobile devices, however, the delete icon doesn't appear very easily. If I click on the row itself the icon still doesn't appear. On my surface with IE, if I long hold it does appear and then works properly. On an iPad, if I click the row and then move my finger slightly left or right it finally appears and works properly.
How can I easily get the delete icon to appear whenever I select a row on a touch device?
Hello Ryan,
Thank you for posting in our forum!
For mobile devices, when edit mode is “cell”, the gesture that will show the delete button is swiping left or right.
For non-mobile devices where you operate with mouse and keyboard the delete button will display on hover.
For hybrid devices ( like Surface where you have both touch and mouse events) you can use both methods ( swipe when using the touch screen, or hover using the mouse).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Should swipe still work if I want edit mode set to "None"? I want to be able to delete but not add or edit the rows/cells.
It looks like when I have it set to this, it works from the iPad but not from the Surface. I still have to long hold on the Surface to get the "x" to stay there. That wouldn't be that bad, except long holding also brings up a browser menu that I have to clear away and then I can hit the "x".
And actually the same is true even in cell and row edit mode. Swipe doesn't work on the Surface. Am I missing something?
