Two questions please - I'm just a newbe

1 If I set/leave alone AutoCreateColumns to true/default, have an InsertRow defined and set the columns I want visible things work the way I expect. I can edit the existing data and insert new data into the InsertRow. If I set the AutoCreateColumns to false and create the columns in the code the insert row is displayed but I can not entered any data. I can edit existing data.

the code looks like this that works as expeacted

//                m_lDataGridControl.AutoCreateColumns = false;

                   M_lDataGRidControl.Columns{"Text1"].Title = "TEST";

                    m_lDataGridControl.Columns["Text4"].Visible = false;

                                .....

                     m_lDataGridControl.Colums{"Text20"].Visible = false;

 What does not work the way I expect is

              m_lDataGridControl.AutoCreateColumns = false;

               Column cColumn = new Column();

               CColumn.Fieldname = "Text1";

               cColumn.Title = "TEST";

               m_lDataGridControl.Columns.Add(cColumn);

 /*                  m_lDataGRidControl.Columns{"Text1"].Title = "TEST";

                    m_lDataGridControl.Columns["Text4"].Visible = false;

                                .....

                     m_lDataGridControl.Colums{"Text20"].Visible = false; */

 Second question is there a way that after you press the return key in the InsertRow and enter a new row that the cell in the InsertRow is in editmode instead of the user having to select the row. The idea is to create a seamless insert process where the user can enter data into a row, tab to each cell in the row enter data, press return and continue entering data on the new blank insertion row

When working with AutoCreateColumns = false, for the InsertionRow to function property, you will need to manually set CellEditors on the Columns.

e.g.:

<Column CellEditor="{x:Static xcdg:CellEditor.TextBoxEditor}" />

 As for your second question, you can find the answer in this thread.
 

FYI,

 I think that I also encountered this issue.

 If I don't define the cellEditor for a dataTable bound data grid (with AutoCreateColumns false) I cannot edit the cells in a new row.

 However, if I pre-populate the values of the new row during the TableNewRow datatable event (even empty non-null strings), I can edit those rows.

Thanks,
