StartEditMode() Method

Enters edit mode.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Function StartEditMode() As Boolean
public bool StartEditMode()

Return Value

Returns True if successful, False otherwise.
Remarks

StartEditMode enters the editor into edit mode.

As part of the process of entering edit mode, EditModeStarting and EditModeStarted events are raised. You can cancel EditModeStarting event to cancel entering edit mode.

Note: Typically there is no need to call this method directly. The editor will automatically enter and exit edit mode as necessary. For example, when using the editor embedded inside a field of a XamDataGrid, the editor is put into edit mode automatically when the cell is clicked and exits edit mode when the focus leaves the cell. When using the editor as a stand-alone control, the editor will automatically enter edit mode when the editor receives focus (for example via a mouse click or when tabbing into it) and exit edit mode when the editor looses focus. This default behavior can be controlled using the IsAlwaysInEditMode property.
