Team,

I need to customize the grid such that when user clicks any cell of row it directly get into edit mode

(lets say if a column is of check box type and I click on that cell, it must toggle and get updated in object model)

Can this be acheived?

Hi Tuariq,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

You can achieve your requirement by binding click event for the Grid cells. Inside the click event you can update the row data directly or move to edit state as per your requirement. Please refer to the below code example, documentation link and sample link for more information.

[component.ts]

@Component({

selector: 'app-root',

template: ` <ejs-grid #grid id='Normalgrid' (click)="click($event)" [dataSource]='data' allowPaging='true'

[pageSettings]='pageSettings' [editSettings]='editSettings' [toolbar]='toolbar'>

<e-columns>

. . .

</e-columns>

</ejs-grid>`,

})

export class AppComponent {

. . .

click(e){

// for normal ediitng

if (e.target.classList.contains("e-rowcell")) {

if (this.grid.isEdit)

this.grid.endEdit();

let index: number = parseInt(e.target.getAttribute("Index"));

let rowData = this.grid.currentViewData[index] as any;

// Update the required cell value

rowData.Verified = !rowData.Verified;

// Update the row with the modified data

// this.grid.updateRow(index, rowData);

// if you want the row should move to edit state please use the below code instead of updating the row

// this.grid.selectRow(index);

//this.grid.startEdit();

}
