Hello,

I'm using XamDataGrid Version 12.2 and tryin' to achieve the same as above but your solution doesn't seem to work for me. There are two problems:

1) I have three Columns A, B, C with Fieldsettings.AllowEdit of B set to false. If I use right arrow to move from cell A to B, B is automatically skipped and focus is on cell C but it's not in edit mode because PreviewKeyDown-Event wasn't fired.

2) Cell value isn't selected in edit mode

Hello,

You can use the following code:

private void xamDataGrid1_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (!xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.IsInEditMode)
    {
        return;
    }
    if (e.Key == Key.Left)
    {
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.EndEditModeAndAcceptChanges);
        do
        {
            xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellLeft);
        } 
        while (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false);
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
    }
    if (e.Key == Key.Right)
    {
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.EndEditModeAndAcceptChanges);
        do
        {
            xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellRight);
        } 
        while (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false);  
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
    }
    if (e.Key == Key.Up)
    {
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.EndEditModeAndAcceptChanges);
        do
        {
            xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellAbove);
        } 
        while (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false);
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
    }
    if (e.Key == Key.Down)
    {
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.EndEditModeAndAcceptChanges);
        do
        {
            xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellBelow);
        } 
        while (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false);
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
    }
}

Hope this helps you.

Hello Soudip,

I have created a sample project for you where I implemented the same functionality for the XamGrid.

Hope this helps you.

Hi,

Do we have similar functionality for XamGrid as we are using that.

Thanks

Soudip

Now it's perfect, thank you very much!

Hello,

I can suggest you handle the XamDataGrid’s EditModeStarted event and add the following handler for it:

private void xamDataGrid1_EditModeStarted(object sender, Infragistics.Windows.DataPresenter.Events.EditModeStartedEventArgs e)
{
    Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => 
    {
        (Utilities.GetDescendantFromType(e.Editor as DependencyObject, typeof(TextBox), true) as TextBox).SelectAll();
    }), System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.Background, null);            
} 

Hope this helps you.

Works nearly perfect. But my problem No. 2 is not solved. The values don't get selected after getting focus.
