Editing Row Side Panel

This demo demonstrates how to implement row editing in Smart.Grid using a side panel that opens on double click. Instead of editing data directly inside the grid cells, the selected row is edited in a dedicated panel positioned beside the grid.

How It Works

The user double-clicks a row in the grid.
A side panel opens automatically.
The panel is populated with the selected row’s data.
The user edits the fields inside the panel.
Changes are saved and reflected back in the grid.

Key Features

Clean and focused editing experience
Prevents accidental inline edits
Supports complex forms and validation
Easy integration with external components
Improved layout for forms with many fields

Benefits of Side Panel Editing

Using a side panel for editing provides a more structured and user-friendly experience, especially when working with records that contain multiple fields or require validation logic. It separates data visualization from data editing, reducing clutter inside the grid.

Developers can fully customize the panel’s layout, validation behavior, and save logic. The double-click event acts as a trigger to load the selected record into the panel, allowing precise control over when editing begins.
