Simple codes needed

Question

Hi,
I need some straightforward codes to directly enable the whole row of the ADF table once "Edit" is clicked, that can be put inside the event of the Edit button.

Hi,
actually tables are stamped, which means you either have read only rows or editable rows. The clickToEdit mode that Shay pointed you to is an exception to this. A possible work around to your problem is to use an af:switcher component for rendering a table row's cells as inputText fields or outputText fields. In this case, each column need to have something like
<af:column ...>
<af:switcher defaultFacet="readOnly" facetName="#{myBean.facetValue}">
  <facet name="readOnly">
        <af:outputText value="#{row.bindings.attributeName.inputValue}" .../>
</facet>
  <facet name="edit">
        <af:inputputText value="#{row.bindings.attributeName.inputValue}" .../>
</facet>
</af:switcher>
</af:column>
...You then create a managed bean with a property facetValue. The getFacetValue property would look similar to
// use a JSF ValueExpression to resolve the #{row} variable. This is a handle to the current rendered row when the table repaints
//from the row variable, get the rowKey
//compare the rowKey with the current selected row in the ADF binding
//if they match
if(renderedRow==currentRow && editFlag==true){
return "edit"
else{
return "readOnly"
}From your button, you then set an editFlag property in the managed bean to true/false and partially refresh the table so it repaints with teh current row becoming editable. Wondering however why instead you don't want togo with Shay's suggested click to edit approach
