How to programmatically select a cell in the row header? [message #1860837]

Hey there,

We want to be able to select the row header and then make it editable after a user adds a new row. This allows us to direct them to adding a description for the element they just created.

However I've been having trouble getting it to select the row header cell, when using the SelectCellCommand it just ends up selecting the leftmost column in the body.

The body layer has a selection layer (which is what I was using) but I tried getting the selection layer from the row header layer and that does the same thing (which could be an issue on our side).

TLDR: What is the proper approach to doing this?

Cheers
Jonathan

Typically you only have a SelectionLayer in the body region. Therefore you can not select a cell in the header regions, as they actually don't support this. As you only want to activate the editor for a row header cell, which should be possible even without a SelectionLayer, you need to find the correct edit command.

Ah I see what you mean, got it working with EditCellCommand. Thanks for the help :)
