To reproduce: Use the following code private void RadGridView1_UserAddingRow(object sender, GridViewRowCancelEventArgs e) { radGridView1.MasterView.TableAddNewRow.CancelAddNewRow(); radGridView1.MasterView.ViewTemplate.DataView.CurrentItem.IsCurrent = false; } Place the new row at the bottom. While in edit mode press tab to fill until an exception is thrown. Workaround: BaseGridBehavior gridBehavior = radGridView1.GridBehavior as BaseGridBehavior; gridBehavior.UnregisterBehavior(typeof(GridViewNewRowInfo)); gridBehavior.RegisterBehavior(typeof(GridViewNewRowInfo), new CustomGridRowBehavior()); internal class CustomGridRowBehavior : GridNewRowBehavior { protected override bool ProcessTabKey(KeyEventArgs keys) { bool newRowIsInEditMode = this.IsInEditMode && this.GridViewElement.CurrentRow is GridViewNewRowInfo; if ( newRowIsInEditMode && this.GridViewElement.Navigator.IsLastEditableColumn(this.GridViewElement.CurrentColumn)) { this.GridViewElement.Navigator.SelectFirstColumn(); while (this.GridViewElement.CurrentColumn.ReadOnly && this.GridViewElement.Navigator.SelectNextColumn()) { } return false; } return base.ProcessTabKey(keys); } }
