DataGrid - Always be in batch edit mode without cell click or double click

created 4 years ago

I've been playing with the data grid and its batch editing mode. I think the normal way to start edit mode of a cell is to either click or double click the cell. Then either the built in cell editor (or custom cell template, if specified) is created and the edit control is shown.

This works well, but my UX team would like to have all the cells in the grid (for any editable column) be in edit mode immediately, not waiting for the user to click or double click into individual cells. We still want the batch mode behaviour, where changes are stored in memory until the clicks save.
Is this possible?

Thanks,
Trevor

Hello,

You can use the column's showEditorAlways property for columns that are editable. Set it to true and these columns will always be in edit mode.

Let us know if you have further questions.
