SfDataGrid get row from MouseDoubleClick

[Kim Bouchard]

Hi,

i want to be able to get a underlying row / record from a MouseDoubleClick on  a SfDataGrid row.

How to achieve the desired behaivor ??

SfDataGrid is quite different from GridDataControl.

By the way, in which scenario should i take SfDataGrid and when GridDataControl.

I am little bit confused that there different DataGrids and the documentation doesn't clarify my

questions.

I hope that someone can guide me in the right direction.

Best Regards

Kim

SfDataGrid is different from GridDataControl. The main difference as follows,

Hello Jai,

Can you provide a different solution to the question?  When you double click the control, it can be anywhere (column header).  I only want the double click when the row itself it double clicked or to be able to get the row source out of the MouseButtonEventArgs but cannot seem to be able to achieve this.  Do you have any suggestions?
