Hi Guia, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
 
Query : i need that the text get selected automatically when user want edit the cell (when the cell is modified to edit mode.) 
 
We have analyzed your query and we have found that the event name is given incorrectly in the grid. So we suggest to use the cellEdit event of the grid and using select() method in the setTimeout method you can select the input text. Please refer to the below sample and documentation for your reference, 
 
Code Example: 
 
[.cshtml] 
... 
    @Html.EJS().Grid("Grid").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource).Columns(col => 
{... 
}).AllowPaging().CellEdit("cellEdit").EditSettings(edit => { edit.AllowAdding(true).AllowEditing(true).AllowDeleting(true).Mode(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.EditMode.Batch); })...}).Render() 
 
 
<script> 
    function cellEdit(args){ 
        setTimeout(function selectText() { 
            this.cell.querySelector('input').select(); 
        }.bind(args), 0); 
    } 
</script> 
... 
 
 
 
Please get back to us for further assistance.
