C#

'Declaration
 
<FlagsAttribute()>
Public Enum EditTriggers 
   Inherits System.Enum

'Usage

[Flags()]
public enum EditTriggers : System.Enum

Members

Member	Description
ActivationGesture	Cells will enter edit mode when the user performs the appropriate activation gesture for the current cell's editor.
BeginEditCommand	Cells will enter edit mode when the Edit Command (default F2) is sent to the containing DataRow.
CellIsCurrent	A cell will enter edit mode when it becomes current.
ClickOnCurrentCell	The current cell will enter edit mode when it is clicked.
None	No special triggers will cause cells to enter edit mode.
RowIsCurrent	All cells in a row will enter edit mode when the row becomes current.
SingleClick	Cells will enter edit mode when it is clicked.

Remarks

The conditions under which cell editors are displayed are determined by the value of the CellEditorDisplayConditions Property, which can be defined for the entire grid or per row. The EditTriggers and CellEditorDisplayConditions properties work independently of each other. For example, if the EditTriggers property is set to None and the CellEditorDisplayConditions property is set to CellIsCurrent, when a cell becomes current, its editor will be displayed and the content of the cell can be edited when focus is given to the cell editor.

A cell editor can be displayed without it being in edit mode.

Example

All examples in this topic assume that the grid is bound to the Orders table of the Northwind database, unless stated otherwise.

The following example demonstrates how to enter edit mode only when a cell becomes current by setting the EditTriggers property to CellIsCurrent.

XAML

<Grid xmlns:xcdg="http://schemas.xceed.com/wpf/xaml/datagrid">
  <Grid.Resources>
    <xcdg:DataGridCollectionViewSource x:Key="cvs_orders"
                                    Source="{Binding Source={x:Static Application.Current},
                                     Path=Orders}"/>
  </Grid.Resources>

  <xcdg:DataGridControl x:Name="OrdersGrid"
                        ItemsSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource cvs_orders}}"
                        EditTriggers="CellIsCurrent"/>      
</Grid>
