Hi Andrew,

thank you for your answer and your kind help. It works now so we can use the v8.2 controls. :)

Best regards,

I'm sorry for the trouble this caused. It looks like this was a regression issue introduced into the release. When the EditorType of the Field was left to null, the cell would not enter edit mode even though the Cell's EditorType was set. This will be addressed in the next hotfix. For now, you can work around this by explicitly setting the EditorType of the field to an editor. E.g.

e.FieldLayout.Fields["PropertyValue"].Settings.EditorType = typeof(Infragistics.Windows.Editors.XamTextEditor);

Hi Andrew,

thank you for taking time to try to help me. I have created a very simple sample and I have attached it. That code works with the 8.1 toolset.

// set a very simple datasource
xamDataGrid1.DataSource = bllSource;
}

e.FieldLayout.Fields["PropertyValue"].Settings.AllowEdit = true;
e.FieldLayout.Fields["PropertyValue"].Settings.CellClickAction = CellClickAction.EnterEditModeIfAllowed;
}

DataRecord dataRecord = e.Record as DataRecord;
if (dataRecord != null)
{
if (dataRecord.Cells["PropertyValue"].Value.GetType().Name == "String")
{
//set the string handler editor for the grid's second field
dataRecord.Cells["PropertyValue"].EditorType = typeof(StringHandlerEditor);
dataRecord.Cells["PropertyValue"].EditorStyle = new Style(typeof(StringHandlerEditor));
}
else
{
//set the boolean handler editor for the grid's second field
dataRecord.Cells["PropertyValue"].EditorType = typeof(BooleanHandlerEditor);
dataRecord.Cells["PropertyValue"].EditorStyle = new Style(typeof(BooleanHandlerEditor));
}
}
}

private void xamDataGrid1_EditModeStarting(object sender, EditModeStartingEventArgs e)
{
// this event only occurs with the 8.1 dlls
}  

The StringHandlerEditor and BooleanHandlerEditor types are only CustomControls. The styles of them contain Template and EditTemplate Setters too. These classes: 

public class TypeHandlerEditorBase : ValueEditor
public class StringHandlerEditor : TypeHandlerEditorBase
public class BooleanHandlerEditor : TypeHandlerEditorBase

I only use 3 dlls:
Infragistics3.Wpf.DataPresenter.v8.2.dll
Infragistics3.Wpf.Editors.v8.2.dll
Infragistics3.Wpf.v8.2.dll
