Hi, as I've already posted here http://xceed.com/CS/forums/thread/25907.aspx

I've got a mayor problem with the XCeed Grid (version 3.2)!!

I already spent several days of my live and am a little frustrated already... :-(

The problem is as follows: When the user enters something in a grid cell and presses the "Save" - Button, he/she would certainly expect, that his changes will be saved. But they are not, because the edit state has not ended (IsBeingEdited = true) and so the datasource has has not been updated.

The user will never figure out, that he has to hit the Enter-Key before pressing the Save-Button.

I tried a lot of code to end the Edit State, but nothing worked....
I still hope, that I forgot about something elementary....

So my question is: Is there a working way to end the edit state with version 3.2?
Alternative question: How can I simulate an ENTER-Keystroke?

Regards,

 Helmut

I still use v3.2 and have created a base function which I can call to save or cancel and edit (I think this is what you are looking for):

    internal void CompleteTheEditingProcess(bool bAcceptChanges)
    {
      if (this.IsBeingEdited)
      {
        DataGridContext dgc = this.CurrentContext;
        if (dgc != null)
        {
     //Is the master or detail in edit mode. Done this way since if in Detail just calling
     //DataGridControl.EndEdit() causes exception
     if (dgc.ParentDataGridContext != null && dgc.ParentItem != null)
     {
      //If it is in the Detail row then select the parent (this stops an unhandled exception)
      this.CurrentItem = dgc.ParentItem;
      this.SelectedItem = dgc.ParentItem;
     }
     else if (ItemsSource != null)
     {
      //Only complete the edit process if the CurrentEditItem is not null
      DataGridCollectionView dgcv = this.ItemsSource as DataGridCollectionView;
      if (dgcv.CurrentEditItem != null)
      {
       if (bAcceptChanges)
       {
        dgc.EndEdit();
       }
       else
       {
        dgc.CancelEdit();
       }
      }
     }
        }
      }
    }

Hmm, thanks for the reply

but does not work for me, too.
When I step through your code, I get

dgcv.CurrentEditItem == null

Hmm, could it be, I have to do something at the beginning of the edit process?

What do you think?

Buhhhhhh, ok I got it!!!!  (spent several days on this one)

The problem was as follows:
I've built a WPF user control, containing the dataGrid, that resides on a dialog window.
When the user presses the SAVE button, I did Close() on the window.
The closing of the window had a sideeffect on the EndEdit. Now I delayed the closing of the window and it works... :-)

Thanks to all....

P.S.: The real problem is, that I use this "Microsoft Technology" (.NET Framework, WPF, C#, Visual Studio, ....)
Live was so easy and perfect two years ago with Borland Delphi. Software-Developement was rapid, easy, stable, fast and cheap (compared to now). Ok, C#/WPF is real progress compared to C++/MFC, but is is a big step back compared to Delphi/VCL, imho.
