Excel like behaviour required for selecting and editing cells
posted

Hi,

I would like to implement similar behaviour to Excel in the XamDataGrid in that if you click on a cell it immediately enters edit mode.  Whereas if you hold the mouse down over a cell and drag you do a multiple select of all the cells you drag over. 

I get the first behaviour with..
<igDP:FieldSettings CellClickAction="EnterEditModeIfAllowed" />

and the second behavior with...
<igDP:FieldSettings CellClickAction="SelectCell" />

In addition I have the following settings..
<igDP:FieldLayoutSettings SelectionTypeCell="Extended" SelectionTypeRecord="Extended" SelectionTypeField="Extended" />

How can I get both of these behaviours working on the grid.  I don't see why this should be impossible as a click on a cell is surely different than a cell selection drag ?

    HI,

     You could force the cell into edit mode by using a DataPresenterCommand.

     Wire up the PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown event.

     Here is the code snippet:

     void xamgrid1_PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
            {
               // throw new NotImplementedException();
                DependencyObject soruce = e.OriginalSource as DependencyObject;
                if (soruce == null) return;
                CellValuePresenter cvp = Infragistics.Windows.Utilities.GetAncestorFromType(soruce, typeof(CellValuePresenter), true) as CellValuePresenter;
                if (cvp == null)
                    return;
                cvp.IsActive = true;
                xamgrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
            }

     Sincerely,
