Excel like editing

[Tigger Tag]

When I set grid.Model.Options.ExcelLikeCurrentCell to true, is it possible to edit the cell text just like Excel; i,e when you start typing it should automatically edit the text in the cell intstead of cell mouse click and then edit the text.

Thanks,

Hi Tigger,

By setting the ExcelLikeCurrentCell to true you can edit the cells directly like the excel edit option.

Sample code snippet:

Model.Options.ExcelLikeCurrentCell = true;

Please download the sample from the below link for your reference.

The sample in the reference link is for WPF project, could you send a sample that works in Silverlight 4.0?

Hi Jeraldes,
I did refer to the samples, but this one is not working as I expect. Here is what I did, I set the excel options as below:
this.grid.Model.Options.ExcelLikeCurrentCell = true;
this.grid.Model.Options.ExcelLikeSelectionFrame = true;

Here is how it is working:
1) I did a mouse click on a cell, the cell enters into edit mode, I can type text. After I finish typing I click enter key, the cell comes out of edit mode (As expected).
2) Now I use keyboard up or down arrow key to navigate to another cell and start typing in keys.
I expect the cell to automatically enter into edit mode and display the keys I typed in, but the cell is not entering into edit mode.

Here is my Syncfusion version and environment details I am using.
1) Syncfusion Dlls: 8.204.0.18
2) Silverlight 4 & VS 2010 environment
3) I had to install a patch SyncfusionPatch_8.2.0.18_131067_8032010052817_68610.exe to fix another issue.

Your project was targetted to silverlight 3, I modified your project and added my dll reference, and am attaching my project for your reference.

Thanks,
