How to perform long press operation in .NET MAUI SfDataGrid (SfDataGrid)?

You can execute long-press operations in the .NET MAUI DataGrid by subscribing to the SfDataGrid.CellLongPress event.

Please refer to the code example below, where the SfDataGrid is loaded, and the CellLongPress event is hooked.

XAML:

<syncfusion:SfDataGrid DefaultColumnWidth="153"
                      AutoGenerateColumnsMode="None"
                      ItemsSource="{Binding Employees}">

   <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:

protected override void OnAttachedTo(SfDataGrid dataGrid)
{
   dataGrid.CellLongPress += DataGrid_CellLongPress;
   base.OnAttachedTo(dataGrid);
}

private void DataGrid_CellLongPress(object? sender, DataGridCellLongPressEventArgs e)
{
   Page currentPage = GetParentPage((View)sender);
   currentPage.DisplayAlert("Notification","Cell Long Pressed", "Cancel");
}

protected override void OnDetachingFrom(SfDataGrid dataGrid)
{
   dataGrid.CellLongPress -= DataGrid_CellLongPress;
   base.OnDetachingFrom(dataGrid);
}
private Page GetParentPage(View view)
{
   Element parent = view.Parent;

   while (parent != null)
   {
       if (parent is Page page)
       {
           return page;
       }
       parent = parent.Parent;
   }
   return null;
}
