MultiExtended and Enter edit mode

[Matthew Brohn]

We are working on a project that would require full rows to be selected and use of ctrl and shift. This is easy through
gridControl1.ListBoxSelectionMode = SelectionMode.MultiExtended;

However, we also only want to enter edit mode only if the user clicks on a currently selected row''s cell.
IE, the first click on a cell will select the entire row, the second click on the cell will make it editable.

Currently we have the grid set up as
gridControl1.ActivateCurrentCellBehavior = GridCellActivateAction.SetCurrent; Better option?

What is the proper strategy for accomplishing this?

I think you can do this by:

1) Adding member to your form:

GridRangeInfoList rangeList;

2) in FormLoad:

this.grid.ActivateCurrentCellBehavior = GridCellActivateAction.None;
rangeList =  this.grid.Selections.GetSelectedRows(false, true).Clone();

3) Handle the grid''s MouseUp eevnt and save the selections.

private void grid_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
	rangeList = this.grid.Selections.GetSelectedRows(true, false).Clone();
}

4) handle the grid''s MouseDown and start editing if the cell is in the saved selections.

private void grid_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
	int row, col;
	if(rangeList.Count > 0 && 
		this.grid.PointToRowCol(new Point(e.X, e.Y), out row, out col, -1))
	{
		if(rangeList.AnyRangeContains(GridRangeInfo.Cell(row, col)))
		{
			this.grid.CurrentCell.BeginEdit();
		}
	}
}
