How detect Edit mode on a grid?

[Woody Splawn]

I don't know what it's called when the little pencil shows up in the Row
Selector portion of the grid but to me it indicates that the user is in edit
mode. I would like to detect this condition because I have a Save button
above a Grid, but I do not want it to be visible until the user has pressed
some key to begin typing in one of the columns of the grid.

How can I detect that the user has entered edit mode?

You can check the ColumnChanged event of the underlying table and set do
this ..

btnSave.Visible = DataSet.HasChanges();

I believe this only fires after the user attempts to leave the collumn. I
need to find out what I need to know as soon as the user types something
into a column on a grid. As soon as he types, he is in edit mode and I want
to make a certain button visible.

Would someone else please try to answer this?
