Auto edit mode

Suite and Optimus Suite 5

The way the grid works is that you double click on each row to start editing. Is there a way to do the following :-

  • When the grid is opened it is opened in edit mode for all rows (users do not need to doubleclick each row)
  • Add a save button to save all edited rows instead of automatic save; this will allow users to rollback changes if needed

thanks

Unfortunately this is not available with default types and methods.
You may try to create a custom ExCell type to achieve this result:

Also in your situation it have a sense to use a dataprocessor, which has needed to you ability:

It has setUpdateMode() method wich sets if rows should be send to server automaticaly.
