How to begin editing a cell on button click in .NET MAUI DataGrid?

This article demonstrates how to begin editing a cell on button click in .NET MAUI DataGrid (SfDataGrid).

You can programmatically edit a cell by calling the SfDataGrid.BeginEdit method. This method puts the specified cell into edit mode, allowing data to be modified programmatically. It selects the corresponding cell and initiates edit mode.

Xaml

<ContentPage.Content>
        <Grid RowDefinitions="Auto,*">
            <HorizontalStackLayout Grid.Row="0" Spacing="10" Margin="10">
                <Button Text="Begin Edit" Clicked="OnBeginEditClicked" />
            </HorizontalStackLayout>

            <syncfusion:SfDataGrid Grid.Row="1"
                x:Name="dataGrid"
                AllowEditing="True"
                SelectionUnit="Cell"
                SelectionMode="Single"                  
                ItemsSource="{Binding OrderInfoCollection}">
                
                <syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
                    <syncfusion:DataGridNumericColumn HeaderText="Order ID" Format="0"
                    MappingName="OrderID" Width="150"/>
                    <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn HeaderText="Customer ID"
                    MappingName="CustomerID"
                    Width="150" />
                    <syncfusion:DataGridTextColumn HeaderText="Ship Country"
                    MappingName="ShipCountry"
                    Width="150" />
                </syncfusion:SfDataGrid.Columns>
                
            </syncfusion:SfDataGrid>
        </Grid>
</ContentPage.Content>

Xaml.cs

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void OnBeginEditClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
         dataGrid.BeginEdit(1,1); 
    }
}
