To Reproduce: - Add GridViewCalculatorColumn to a RadGridView. - When you begin edit a cell the value is not selected. Workaround: Create a custom RadCalculatorEditor and then change the editor in EditorRequired event: void radGridView1_EditorRequired(object sender, EditorRequiredEventArgs e) { if (e.EditorType.Name == "RadCalculatorEditor") { e.Editor = new CustomCalculatorEditor(); } } public class CustomCalculatorEditor : RadCalculatorEditor { public override void BeginEdit() { base.BeginEdit(); RadCalculatorDropDownElement editorElement = this.EditorElement as RadCalculatorDropDownElement; editorElement.EditorContentElement.TextBoxItem.SelectAll(); } }
