I am trying to do some custom edit stuff on some textblocks in my Datagrid. It seems like the F2 key and the left mouse click are reserved and will not fire the KeyDown event and MouseDown event respectably. I want to put textblocks in edit mode with those two actions. What do I need to do?

Hi,

Have you tried setting the ActivationGestures? If you need moire explanation with examples, you can go to our online documentation here for more details. As stated in the docs, "Activation gestures are key and/or text input, which cause an element to enter edit mode and are defined through a cell editor's ActivationGestures property (see Examples 1 and 2)". The F2 key should be reserved for editing. You can take a look at the EditModes sample application that was installed on your machine when you installed the component.
