Hello,

You can use the following code:

private void xamDataGrid1_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    if (!xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.IsInEditMode)
    {
        return;
    }
    if (e.Key == Key.Left)
    {
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.EndEditModeAndAcceptChanges);
        do
        {
            xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellLeft);
        } 
        while (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false);
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
    }
    if (e.Key == Key.Right)
    {
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.EndEditModeAndAcceptChanges);
        do
        {
            xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellRight);
        } 
        while (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false);  
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
    }
    if (e.Key == Key.Up)
    {
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.EndEditModeAndAcceptChanges);
        do
        {
            xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellAbove);
        } 
        while (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false);
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
    }
    if (e.Key == Key.Down)
    {
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.EndEditModeAndAcceptChanges);
        do
        {
            xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.CellBelow);
        } 
        while (xamDataGrid1.ActiveCell.Field.Settings.AllowEdit == false);
        xamDataGrid1.ExecuteCommand(DataPresenterCommands.StartEditMode);
    }
}

Hope this helps you.

Hello,

I'm using XamDataGrid Version 12.2 and tryin' to achieve the same as above but your solution doesn't seem to work for me. There are two problems:

1) I have three Columns A, B, C with Fieldsettings.AllowEdit of B set to false. If I use right arrow to move from cell A to B, B is automatically skipped and focus is on cell C but it's not in edit mode because PreviewKeyDown-Event wasn't fired.

2) Cell value isn't selected in edit mode

It works great. Thank you very much.
