Afternoon all,
I have a grid that I’m using only for view and row selection (to trigger other actions). Is there any way to stop the row from switching into “edit” mode when selected? The different options available on the grid and data model don’t seem to have any effect.
This behavior is rather annoying on a tablet as it forces focus to the first column’s text field and causes the on-screen keyboard to appear.
Thanks!
It’s more of a workaround than a solution, but you could enable the checkbox selection.
That way they tap the checkbox instead of row.
The Parts grid on the Kinetic Parts form landing page is a good example of what I was hoping for. Clearly it’s possible. If you tap on one of those rows, it only highlights. I can’t find any particular attribute on their grid that’s causing the behavior to be different.
Thanks for the suggestion. I only want the user to be able to select a single item at a time. The selection triggering a slide out panel to show additional information from the current dataview row.
Scratch that. Try this property out.
Doesn’t seem to matter what you put there. I tried all 3 with the same results, but it no longer allows me to click into a cell. I suspect it will open up again if I go up a level and check the “Editable” checkbox.
*Confirmed.
If you check this box, it will go back to where you can click into the cell.
If you leave it unchecked, but set the Edit Mode, then it should behave like the screen you referred to.
Hmm… no dice for some reason. Could be a dataview issue? Since my dataview isn’t bound to anything?
Okay–try this. I believe this is what they do to control the Landing Page.
Create a data rule for your view (SubAssembly, I believe?).
That grays out the lines (disabled), but still allows you to select a row.
Awesome! That did it. I didn’t even think about data rules for something like this. This really seems to improve selection speed too.
