To reproduce: Sub New() InitializeComponent() Dim dt As New DataTable() dt.Columns.Add("Name", GetType(String)) dt.Columns.Add("Price", GetType(Decimal)) dt.Columns.Add("Id", GetType(Integer)) dt.Columns.Add("ActivatedOn", GetType(DateTime)) For i As Integer = 0 To 4 dt.Rows.Add("Item" & i, i * 0.25, i, DateTime.Now.AddHours(i)) Next Me.RadGridView1.DataSource = dt Me.RadGridView1.Columns("Id").[ReadOnly] = True Me.RadGridView1.AutoSizeColumnsMode = Telerik.WinControls.UI.GridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill AddHandler Me.RadGridView1.DefaultValuesNeeded, AddressOf radGridView1_DefaultValuesNeeded Me.RadGridView1.NewRowEnterKeyMode = RadGridViewNewRowEnterKeyMode.EnterMovesToLastAddedRow End Sub Private Sub radGridView1_DefaultValuesNeeded(sender As Object, e As GridViewRowEventArgs) e.Row.Cells("Id").Value = Me.radGridView1.Rows.Count e.Row.Cells("ActivatedOn").Value = DateTime.Now End Sub Select the read-only cell inside the new row and press Enter. You will notice that two duplicated rows are added. Workaround: handle the RadGridView.PreviewKeyDown event and change the current column to one that is not read-only AddHandler Me.RadGridView1.PreviewKeyDown, AddressOf GridPreviewKeyDown Private Sub GridPreviewKeyDown(sender As Object, e As PreviewKeyDownEventArgs) If e.KeyCode = Keys.Enter Then Me.RadGridView1.CurrentColumn = Me.RadGridView1.Columns(0) Me.RadGridView1.BeginEdit() End If End Sub
