pls, try putting the code below in your button's on click event handler:
DataGridCell cell = GetCell(1, 0);
if (cell != null)
{
cell.Focus();
yourDataGrid.BeginEdit();
}
below is implementation for the GetCell method taken from here Grabing controls from a DataGrid
public DataGridCell GetCell(int row, int column)
{
DataGridRow rowContainer = GetRow(row);
if (rowContainer != null)
{
DataGridCellsPresenter presenter = GetVisualChild<DataGridCellsPresenter>(rowContainer);
// try to get the cell but it may possibly be virtualized
DataGridCell cell = (DataGridCell)presenter.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(column);
if (cell == null)
{
// now try to bring into view and retreive the cell
gridPersons.ScrollIntoView(rowContainer, gridPersons.Columns[column]);
cell = (DataGridCell)presenter.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(column);
}
return cell;
}
return null;
}
public DataGridRow GetRow(int index)
{
DataGridRow row = (DataGridRow)gridPersons.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index);
if (row == null)
{
// may be virtualized, bring into view and try again
gridPersons.ScrollIntoView(gridPersons.Items[index]);
row = (DataGridRow)gridPersons.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(index);
}
return row;
}
static T GetVisualChild<T>(Visual parent) where T : Visual
{
T child = default(T);
int numVisuals = VisualTreeHelper.GetChildrenCount(parent);
for (int i = 0; i < numVisuals; i++)
{
Visual v = (Visual)VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(parent, i);
child = v as T;
if (child == null)
{
child = GetVisualChild<T>(v);
}
if (child != null)
{
break;
}
}
return child;
}
hope this helps, regards
