How to end editing a cell when it becomes hidden from the visible region in .NET MAUI DataGrid?

3 mins read

By default, the editing cell in the .NET MAUI DataGrid remains in edit mode and cannot be committed when the respective cell hides from the scroll view’s visible area. This behavior can be addressed by utilizing the scroll view’s scrolled event. Please refer to the code example below.

XAML:
<syncfusion:SfDataGrid  ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}"
                     AutoGenerateColumnsMode="None"
                     AllowEditing="True"
                     NavigationMode="Cell"
                     SelectionMode="Single"
                     DefaultColumnWidth="155">
 <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
     <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="EmployeeID"
                                    HeaderText="Employee ID" />
     <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="Name"
                                    HeaderText="Name" />
     <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="IDNumber"
                                    HeaderText="ID Number" />
 </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>

 <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Behaviors>
     <behaviors:DataGridBehavior />
 </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Behaviors>
 
</syncfusion:SfDataGrid> 
Behavior:
public class DataGridBehavior : Behavior<SfDataGrid>
{
 protected override void OnAttachedTo(SfDataGrid dataGrid)
 {
     dataGrid.GetVisualContainer().ScrollOwner.Scrolled += ScrollOwner_Scrolled;
     base.OnAttachedTo(dataGrid);
 }

 protected override void OnDetachingFrom(SfDataGrid dataGrid)
 {
     dataGrid.GetVisualContainer().ScrollOwner.Scrolled -= ScrollOwner_Scrolled;
     base.OnDetachingFrom(dataGrid);
 }

 private void ScrollOwner_Scrolled(object? sender, ScrolledEventArgs e)
 {
     SfDataGrid grid = (sender as DataGridScrollView).Parent as SfDataGrid;

     var visualContainer = grid.GetVisualContainer();
     var row = visualContainer.ScrollRows.GetVisibleLineAtLineIndex(grid.CurrentCell.RowIndex);

     if (row != null && row.Region == Syncfusion.Maui.GridCommon.ScrollAxis.ScrollAxisRegion.Header)
         return;

     var column = visualContainer.ScrollColumns.GetVisibleLineAtLineIndex(grid.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex);

     // Need to perform EndEdit only when current cell disappears from the view. 
     if ((row == null || column == null))
     {
         grid.EndEdit();
     }
 }
}
