FilterRow strange effect when GridSelectionMode.None

[Daniele Wyss]

I have a strange effect when I set no grid selection.

sfDataGrid1.SelectionMode = GridSelectionMode.None;

Attached you have the images for the 2 cases: Case 1 - Works as Expected
Case 2 does not work as expected (drop down at the left side and no text can be edited at sort row)

I used the example SfDataGrid_Net80_3f7e5eb8 :

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    _orderInfos = new OrderInfoCollection();
    //Adding SortColumnDescription programmatically

    SortColumnDescription sortColumnDescription = new SortColumnDescription();
    sortColumnDescription.ColumnName = "CustomerID";
    sortColumnDescription.SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Ascending;
    sfDataGrid1.SortColumnDescriptions.Add(sortColumnDescription);

    // Added to the original code
    sfDataGrid1.FilterRowPosition = RowPosition.FixedTop;
    // When I enable to next line the issue is coming
    //  sfDataGrid1.SelectionMode = GridSelectionMode.None;


    sfDataGrid1.DataSource = _orderInfos.Orders;
}

no text can be edited at sort row	Based on the information provided, it appears that you are attempting to edit a column without making a selection. However, the editing process in SfDataGrid relies on the current cell selection, and without an active selection, cell editing cannot be performed. This is the expected behavior.

Based on the information provided, it appears that you are attempting to edit a column without making a selection. However, the editing process in SfDataGrid relies on the current cell selection, and without an active selection, cell editing cannot be performed. This is the expected behavior.

As far as I saw it is not possible to specify a different selection mode for the filter row.
For now I solved by changing the selection mode when the mouse is over the filter row (not optimal but looks like working).

Hi Daniele Wyss,

Based on the information provided, it appears that you have dynamically changed the SelectionMode when the cursor position is placed over FilterRow. We are pleased to hear that the solution has worked for you.

However, as mentioned earlier, cell editing cannot be performed without an active selection. We understand that this limitation may impact your workflow, and we will plan to addressing it in future releases.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to improve this functionality.

As previously mentioned, we will fix the issue "FilterRow dropdown does not open in the correct position when SelectionMode is set to None," and it will be included in the upcoming Weekly NuGet release scheduled for December 17, 2024. We appreciate your patience in the meantime.

Regards,
Malini Selevarsu

Hi Daniele Wyss,

We would like to let you know that Essential Studio Weekly NuGet packages (v28.1.35) has been published in nuget.org with the fix for the issue “FilterRow Dropdown does not open in the correct position when SelectionMode is set to None”. Please let us know if you have any concerns in this.

Root Cause:
We calculate the location of the FilterRow dropdown based on the CurrentCell. When the GridSelectionMode is set to None, the CurrentCell returns -1, causing the location to be calculated incorrectly. This is the root cause of the issue.
