CurrentCellValidating and RowValidating not triggered properly in GridTemplateColumn

[Sam Chan]

Hi,

This is related to a previous post https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/130022/lookup-a-control-in-a-gridtemplatecolumn-edittemplate. The suggested solution involved using a GridTemplateColumn to have different controls in a cell depending on the row data. When using GridTemplateColumn, the Validating events are not triggered as expected. The following behaviours are not expected:

1. When double-clicking a cell in a GridTemplateColumn to enter edit mode, the RowValidating event is triggered immediately. But if edit mode was initiated with F2, the RowValidating event is triggered correctly.
2. When edit mode is entered by double-clicking, the RowValidating event is not triggered after editing the row. Calling sfdatagrid.GetValidationHelper().SetCurrentRowValidated(false) in the changed event of the custom control used in the GridTemplateColumn is a workaround as suggested in a previous post. But calling sfdatagrid.GetValidationHelper().SetCurrentCellValidated(false) doesn't help to trigger the CurrentCellValidating event as SetCurrentRowValidated(false) does with the RowValidating event.

Could you please help me with the following:

1. What is the best way to suppress the immediate RowValidating event in (1)? 
   
2. Or can the SfDataGrid be set up to allow a double-click to behave the same way as a F2 key press?
3. Is there a similar workaround for triggering the CurrentCellValidating event as calling SetCurrentRowValidated(false)?

I've attached the project I used to test the behaviours.

Sam

Hi,

I think I've found the answer to (c) in https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/118082/currentcellvalidating-event-is-not-executed-on-gridtemplatecolumn. Unless something has changed in the most recent version.
