as i figured. If I take Ideablade back to 6.1.14, the application works again. There is an issue between Intersoft 2013 and Devforce 6.1.15.

Thank you very much!!!! that works perfectly. Just another reason why Intersoft is the #1 .net controls provider. Not only is the product great and easy to use, the support is fantastic and fast.

I figured out the problem. This is a bug. It has to do with Devforce and WPF and UXGridView. I ran the Silverlight Devforce example provided by Intersoft and it works fine. As you tab from cell to cell the cursor is automatically placed in edit mode in the new cell. I ran the WPF version of the same sample and it doesnt work. It does what my app is doing. You have to click in each cell first to get into edit mode. So there is a bug in the dlls used in WPF/Devforce for the UXGridView.

This is what my gridview properties are set to and when i tab from one column to the next i am not automatically in edit mode. I have to click into the cell first. This is a Wpf app.

 AutoEditOperation="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False"  CanUserAddRows="True"CanUserDeleteRows="True"CanUserEditRows="True"DeleteRowCommand="{Binding DeleteRowCommand}"EditEnterKeyAction="MoveToNextEditableCell"
EnterKeyAction="EnterEdit"HasChanges="{Binding HasChanges}"InsertRowCommand="{Binding InsertRowCommand}"IsBusy="{Binding IsBusy, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding Payments}" NewItem="{Binding NewPayment, Mode=TwoWay}" PrepareNewRowCommand="{Binding PrepareNewRowCommand}" QueryOperation="Client" RefreshCommand="{Binding RefreshCommand}" RejectChangesCommand="{Binding RejectChangesCommand}" RejectRowCommand="{Binding RejectRowCommand}" SaveChangesCommand="{Binding SaveChangesCommand}" SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedPayment,Mode=TwoWay}"UpdateCellCommand="{Binding UpdateCellCommand}"UpdateRowCommand="{Binding UpdateRowCommand}"ValidateRowCommand="{Binding ValidateRowCommand}" CanUserBatchUpdate="True">

What am i missing here?
