Prevent right-click from causing cell to enter edit mode

Brian Bell

Asked On September 25, 2019 09:54 PM UTC

I am using SfDataGrid w AllowEditing = "True" and EditTrigger = "OnTap". I am using MVVM and XAML.

I wish to prevent right-click from causing cells to go into edit mode. Right-click should still control selection and context-menus, just not edit mode.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for your patience.

You can achieve your requirement to prevent the edit mode when right clicking in SfDataGrid by customizing the SelectionController and overriding the ProcessPointerPressed.

Please refer the below code snippet,

this.datagrid.SelectionController = new GridSelectionControllerExt(datagrid);

public class GridSelectionControllerExt : GridSelectionController

{

public GridSelectionControllerExt(SfDataGrid dataGrid)

: base(dataGrid)

{ }

protected override void ProcessPointerPressed(MouseButtonEventArgs args, RowColumnIndex rowColumnIndex)

{

if (args.ChangedButton == MouseButton.Right)

{

args.Handled = true;

}

else

base.ProcessPointerPressed(args, rowColumnIndex);

}

Please refer the below sample link,

This isn't right. Right-click should still select the row, it just shouldn't enter edit mode in the cell.

The solution given prevents the selection of the row.

Thanks

base.ProcessOnTapped(e, currentRowColumnIndex);

e.Handled = true;
