activate checkbox editor in cellselect mode with a single click

When you activate the “Multi Select” feature and select the mode “CellSelect”. When columns have specials editors, like checks, the user must perform 3 clicks in a cell to get the editor activated. Grid does not have same behavior when multi select is false or when mode is “RowSelect”; in this two cases user can activate editor with just one click.
You can see this in Demo Center / XtraGrid Suit / XtraGrid Main Demo / Layout Features Group / Cell Selection sample. The column “Country” has a combo box editor and works the same way.
Is there a way to avoid this behavior when “cellselect” so user could activate check editor with one click. Note that if you use keyboard, arrows to move between cells and space, you can change a check state right away.
Thanks

Thanks Paul,
I’ve been looking http://www.devexpress.com/issue=Q96719 as you said.
I wonder, inside PerformClick method, what method should I invoke for RepositoryItemCheckEdit instead of “RaiseButtonClick” for RepositoryItemButtonEdit?
Thanks again

Hello Matías,
The code for CheckEdit is:

C#
private void gridView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)  
{  
    if ((Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Control) != Keys.Control)  
    {  
        GridView view = sender as GridView;  
        GridHitInfo hi = view.CalcHitInfo(e.Location);  
        if (hi.InRowCell)  
        {  
            if (hi.Column.RealColumnEdit.GetType() == typeof(RepositoryItemCheckEdit))  
            {  
                view.FocusedRowHandle = hi.RowHandle;  
                view.FocusedColumn = hi.Column;  
                view.ShowEditor();  
                CheckEdit edit = (view.ActiveEditor as CheckEdit);  
                edit.Toggle();  
                (e as DevExpress.Utils.DXMouseEventArgs).Handled = true;  
            }  
        }  
    }  
}

Thank you,
Paul
