In a windows list view, if Edit = true in the model, then the user can simply start typing on a record and it will modify the current field then they can press up/down arrows to move to edit the next record.
In the ASP list view the user must click the edit button on each row they wish to edit.
Is there a way to enable the edit mode for all rows in an ASP list view, at the same time, so that the user may move between fields by using the up/down arrows?
this would make editing many records much faster…
Thanks,
Chris

SystemModules.Win - Make it possible to edit multiple records in an editable ListView at once and save the changes only when needed
Hello Chris,
Thank you for contacting us. The described functionality is unsupported, by default, in XAF Web UI (SystemModules - Make it possible to edit multiple records in an editable ListView at once and save the changes only when needed). However, it is possible to implement it by writing custom code.
For instance, you can customize ASPxGridView as described at How to edit multiple selected rows in a single Edit Form. You can also implement a custom List Editor, but it is not a trivial task.
Alternatively, you can embed a custom user grid control based on ASPxGridView into a ListView as shown in How to show custom forms and controls in XAF (Example).
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks,
Dennis
