How to enter Editmode directly when keydown in node selection state in radTreeView

Hi Jay,

To start the editing process of the selected node, you need to call the BeginEdit() method. You can check the Editing Nodes help article which further describes the editing functionality of the RadTreeView. In your case, you can subscribe to the KeyDown event of the RadTreeView and call the BeginEdit() of the RadTreeView.

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    radTreeView1.AllowEdit = true;
    this.radTreeView1.KeyDown += RadTreeView1_KeyDown;
}

private void RadTreeView1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
    // You can add custom logic to check which key is pressed
    radTreeView1.BeginEdit();
}

I am not familiar with your requirements, but what I can suggest is to add custom logic that checks which key is pressed and enter the edit mode in only those scenarios.

I hope that my reply is helpful.
