StartEditing(bool, int, int)

Starts editing a specific cell.

Declaration
public bool StartEditing(bool fullEdit, int row, int col)
Parameters
Type Name Description
bool fullEdit

Whether to stay in edit mode when the user presses the cursor keys.

int row

Index of the row that contains the cell to be edited.

int col

Index of the column that contains the cell to be edited.

Returns
Type Description
bool

True if the grid entered edit mode.

Remarks
<p>Editing in the <xref href="C1.WPF.FlexGrid.C1FlexGrid" data-throw-if-not-resolved="false"></xref> is similar to editing in Excel:</p>
<p>Pressing F2 or double-clicking a cell puts the grid in <b>full-edit</b> mode. 

In this mode, the cell editor remains active until the user presses Enter, Tab, or Escape, or until he moves the selection with the mouse. In full-edit mode, pressing the cursor keys does not cause the grid to exit edit mode.

Typing text directly into a cell puts the grid in quick-edit mode. In this mode, the cell editor remains active until the user presses Enter, Tab, or Escape, or any arrow keys. In quick-edit mode, pressing the cursor keys causes the grid to exit edit mode.

Full-edit mode is normally used to make changes to existing values. Quick-edit mode is normally used for entering new data quickly.

While editing, the user can toggle between full and quick modes by pressing the F2 key.

The fullEdit parameter determines whether the grid should enter edit mode in full or quick mode.
