Hi,

I have a feature that I wanted to try and was wondering if it was possible.

What I wanted to do was, when the user is editing a cell, and he presses Enter, it commits the changes, and goes to the next cell (The next cell could be on the right, or under the current cell. Basically, the next editable cell), but I can't seem to make it work.

In my current project, I use the Completed event from the EditText cell to call the CurrentCellEndEdit event from the grid (to commit the changes), but what I can't figure out is how to open the next cell.

I've attached a sample with my current best attempt where I wait 200ms after closing the current cell to try to open the next cell, It works most of the time, but I would like a more reliable method to handle this, if possible. The first column is editable, and if you click on the second column, it should go to the next row and open the edit cell.

I am running the program on Android 6.0.

Is it possible to do what I'm attempting?

Hi Maxence,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support,

Your requirement can be achieved by creating the new custom cell renderes for SfDataGrid.CellRenderes. In that custom cell renderes we can end edit the cell when press done key on device keyboard. For more details please refer the below code example and attached sample.

Code Example,

 
[GridPage.Xaml.CS]

….
dataGrid.CellRenderers.Remove("TextView"); 
dataGrid.CellRenderers.Add("TextView", new CustomTextViewRenderer(this.dataGrid));
…..

internal class CustomTextViewRenderer : GridCellTextViewRenderer 
    { 
        SfDataGrid grid; 
        public CustomTextViewRenderer(SfDataGrid dataGrid) 
        { 
            grid = dataGrid; 
        } 
 
        protected override SfEntry OnCreateEditUIView() 
        { 
            var view = new CustomSfEntry(grid); 
            return view; 
        } 
    } 
 
    internal class CustomSfEntry : SfEntry 
    { 
        SfDataGrid dataGrid; 
        public CustomSfEntry(SfDataGrid sfDataGrid) 
        { 
            dataGrid = sfDataGrid; 
            this.Completed += CustomSfEntry_Completed; 
        } 
 
        private void CustomSfEntry_Completed(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            this.dataGrid.EndEdit(); 
        } 
    } 


We hope this helps, please let us know if need further assistance from us.

Regards,
Karthik Raja

Thanks for that, but what I wanted was a better and more reliable way to move to the next cell than the one I was using. I want to be able to move to the next cell after pressing Enter. Is there any way I can do that?

Hi Maxence,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support,

We have moved your business logic from CurrentCellEndEdit Event to CompletedEvent on CustomRenderer of NumericTextBox. This is the most reliable way to achieve your requirement. For more details please refer to the below code snippet and attached sample.

Code Example,

 
….
 private void CustomSfEntry_Completed(object sender, EventArgs e) 
        { 
            this.dataGrid.EndEdit(); 
            this.dataGrid.BeginEdit(this.dataGrid.CurrentCellManager.RowColumnIndex.RowIndex + 1, this.dataGrid.CurrentCellManager.RowColumnIndex.ColumnIndex); 
        }
….
