TUniDBGrid cell editor disappears when another TUniDBGrid is refreshed

[kfmedi]

Hello,

I use version 1.95.0.1580.
I have 2 DB grids on a form with different datasources, there is no connection between the 2 grids. When I edit a cell in the first grid and the second grid is refreshed (by a timer that reopens the second grid's dataset) then the editor disappears.
How can I prevent this?

Hi,

You said that a timer re-opens the dataset. Can you specify how this is implemented?

Hello,

Sorry for the late response.

Can you create a test case without TVirtualDataSet?

Hello,

 

Yes.

Hello,

Any information?
I tried it with 1.95.0.1604 but it is the same.

Hello,

Do you mean the second grid becomes non-editable?

[Sherzod]

If so, it seems that the dgEditing option is set to False on your side.

Hello,

No. I mean the editor in the first grid disappears when another grid is refreshed.

Hello,

Could you please record a short video showing the problem?

Hello,

Do both grids use the same dataset?
If yes, that’s actually a normal case.

No. Please check the attached test project (a few posts up).

The core problem is focus loss during editing.

When another grid is refreshed by a timer, an Ajax-driven DOM/layout update occurs. This may cause the active editor field to lose focus. ExtJS treats this blur as a normal end of editing and closes the editor.

Yes, it is possible to try to find workaround solutions. However, it is important to clearly identify the real root cause of the editor being closed — whether it is a legitimate focus change caused by user interaction, or a focus loss triggered indirectly by a DOM/layout update during an automatic refresh.

From an architectural point of view, the correct approach is not to force the editor to stay open, but to avoid triggering UI updates (timers, dataset reloads, store loads) while a cell is being edited.
