WPF DataGrid Editing

Widely used column types

The WPF DataGrid control provides support for widely used column types. Users can easily edit the cell values using built-in intuitive editors. The following column types are supported:

• TextBox
• Numeric TextBox
• Currency TextBox
• DatePicker
• Percentage TextBox
• CheckBox
• MaskedTextBox
• TimeSpan
• Image
• Hyperlink

Drop-down column type

Look up data using the drop-down column type. The following editors are supported to select an item from a drop-down:

• ComboBox
• Multicolumn drop-down list

Custom column type

Create your own custom column and load different user controls instead of the built-in editor or non-editor controls. Thus, you can perform customized operations for your business application use cases. It’s also possible to change the behavior of built-in column types.

Edit template

Display any control on tapping or double-tapping on cell editing using edit templates. You can also display any control conditionally on editing based on the cell value.

Built-in data validation

The WPF DataGrid control supports built-in data error indication or validation when the given value in the cell does not meet the validation rule. Users can define the custom validation rules themselves.
