Hi Nagendra Gupta,

Query#1: Virtualization not working proper in batch editing mode. My request from you please provide virtualization in batch edit grid.

We would like to inform you that currently, the batch editing functionality is not compatible with the virtual scrolling feature. Please refer to the below documentation link for more information,

Limitations: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/grid/virtual/#limitations-for-virtualization

However, we have already logged the feature task to provide support for batch editing with virtual scrolling and added it to our feature request database. At the planning stage for every release cycle, we review all open features and identify features for implementation based on specific parameters including product vision, technological feasibility, and customer interest. And this feature will be included in any of our upcoming releases. 

  

You can now track the current status of your request, review the proposed resolution timeline, and contact us for any further inquiries through the below feedback link,

Query#2: If possible, then please give me example of Normal edit grid work like Batch edit grid. Means only click cell should be editable instead of entire row cell.

Even if we customize the Normal Editing behavior to edit only a single cell, we could not perform the bulk changes. We can make the clicked cell editable and the other cells non-editable, but the edit form will be rendered for the entire row. So, could you please confirm whether the above scenario meets your requirement based on which we could provide a solution as early as possible?

Hi Nagendra Gupta,

You can only edit a clicked cell in normal edit mode by setting the "columns.allowEditing" property within the "actionBegin" event. However, this will only enable normal editing and does not allow for bulk changes or navigation to other cells. Please see the code example and sample link for additional information.

Here we have used the “recordDoubleClick” event to get the clicked cell details.

actionBegin(args: any): void {

    if (args.requestType === 'save' || args.requestType === 'cancel') {

      this.grid.columns.map((col) => {

        col.allowEditing = true;

      });

    }

    if (args.requestType === 'beginEdit') {

      this.grid.columns.map((col) => {

        if (col.field != this.column.field) col.allowEditing = false;

      });

    }

  }

  recordDoubleClick(args) {

      this.column = args.column;

  }

Note: This is suggested as a workaround only. This cannot be extended to any other features.
