.NET MAUI TreeDataGrid Editing
The Telerik UI for .NET MAUI TreeDataGrid provides built-in editing capabilities, which allow users to modify the data presented in the Grid.
Depending on the TreeDataGrid column data type, the TreeDataGrid provides a relevant editor which allows users to edit the content upon double-clicking the desired cell.
Editing Properties
To enable editing in the TreeDataGrid, define the UserEditMode property of the component. UserEditMode is of type Telerik.Maui.Controls.DataGrid.DataGridUserEditMode and accepts the following values:
-
None—(default on Mobile) Editing is disabled. -
Cell—(default on Desktop) Enables the editing option.
You can also independently disable editing for specific columns through the CanUserEdit property of the TreeDataGridColumn class. For more details, refer to the topic about columns in the .NET MAUI TreeDataGrid.
Column Editors
Each TreeDataGrid column type provides different editor, so that the content can be edited in a convenient manner according to its value type.
The following table lists the integrated .NET MAUI control for editing the values inside the TreeDataGrid columns:
