Hi Manoj,

Please try the following code and let me know it this helps.

Hi Jisha,

Thank you for you reply. I already tried this but it is not working. I will tell you the exact scenario.

We are using a grid with two columns that exactly looks like PropertyGrid. The first column is a read only column and the second column is an editable column. When the user clicks on a menu item a dialog pops up with this grid so, i want to point my cursor on the selected row index. which is not happening.

I am attaching a small image. This is how it shows when i use the MoveTo and BeginEdit methods.

Hi Manoj.

Please use the following code and let me know if this does not meet your requirements.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.gridControl1.Focus();
this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.MoveTo(2, 2,GridSetCurrentCellOptions.SetFocus);
this.gridControl1.CurrentCell.BeginEdit();

}

Jisha,

I have virtually the same situation and the code you supply
fails in a very subtle way.

The issue in my case is that I have set the grid to

grid1.ActivateCurrentCellBehavior = gridCellActivateAction.SelectAll

and that behavior is *not* being respected.

With your code, the cell activates, it goes into editing mode, but the current text in the cell is not selected.

I may be missing something, but I cannot find any methods to force the renderer (from code) to select the entire contents of the cell.

Thanks

Hi Ralph,

Thanks for your interest in Syncfusion Products.

If you would like to force the renderer of the currentcell to get the SelectAll functionality, please try to handle CurrentCellActivated event with the following code.

GridCurrentCell cc = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell;
if (cc.Renderer is GridTextBoxCellRenderer)
{
GridTextBoxCellRenderer rend = cc.Renderer as GridTextBoxCellRenderer;
if (rend != null)
{
TextBox tb = rend.Control as TextBox;
tb.SelectAll();
}
}
