WPF DataGridTemplateColumn. Am I missing something?
- by plotnick
<data:DataGridTemplateColumn Header="Name">
<data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}">
</DataTemplate>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<TextBox Text="{Binding Name}">
</DataTemplate>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellEditingTemplate>
</data:DataGridTemplateColumn>
It's clear example of Template column, right? What could be wrong with that?
So, here is the thing - when a user navigates through DataGrid with hitting TAB-key, it needs to hit the TAB twice(!) to be able to edit text in TextBox. How could I make it editable as soon as the user gets the column focus, I mean even if he just starts typing?
Ok. I found a way - into Grid.KeyUp() I put the code below:
if (Grid.CurrentColumn.Header.ToString() == "UserName")
{
if (e.Key != Key.Escape)
{
Grid.BeginEdit();
// Simply send another TAB press
if (Keyboard.FocusedElement is Microsoft.Windows.Controls.DataGridCell)
{
var keyEvt = new KeyEventArgs(Keyboard.PrimaryDevice, Keyboard.PrimaryDevice.ActiveSource, 0, Key.Tab) { RoutedEvent = Keyboard.KeyDownEvent };
InputManager.Current.ProcessInput(keyEvt);
}
}
}
