How to enable entry in one column when clicking a button in another column of the same row in .NET MAUI DataGrid?

In .NET MAUI DataGrid, you can enable an entry in one column when clicking a button in another column of the same row by changing the EmployeeStatus property of the entry on the button click.

Refer to the below code example in which an Entry and a Button are loaded as column elements using DataGridTemplateColumn.

Behavior

<syncfusion:SfDataGrid  ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}"
                       AutoGenerateColumnsMode="None"
                       ColumnWidthMode="Auto"
                       DefaultColumnWidth="155">
   <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
       <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn MappingName="IDNumber"
                                      HeaderText="ID Number" />
       <syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn MappingName="Employee ID">
           <syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
                   <DataTemplate>
                       <Entry IsEnabled="{Binding EmployeeStatus}"
                              Text="{Binding EmployeeID}"
                              TextColor="Black" />
                   </DataTemplate>
               </syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
       </syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn>

   <syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn MappingName="Name">
       <syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
           <DataTemplate>
                   <Button Text="{Binding Name}"
                           TextColor="Black">
                       <Button.Behaviors>
                           <behaviors:DataGridBehavior />
                       </Button.Behaviors>
                   </Button>
               </DataTemplate>
       </syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
   </syncfusion:DataGridTemplateColumn>
   </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>

</syncfusion:SfDataGrid>

Xaml.cs

The code below illustrates how to enable the EmployeeStatus property of an entry when the button on the same row is clicked.

protected override void OnAttachedTo(Button button)
{
    base.OnAttachedTo(button);
    button.Clicked += OnButtonClicked;
}

protected override void OnDetachingFrom(Button button)
{
    base.OnDetachingFrom(button);
    button.Clicked -= OnButtonClicked;
}

private void OnButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var data = ((sender as Button).BindingContext as Employee);
    data.EmployeeStatus = true;
}
