Remarks
The DataGrid control calls the PrepareCellForEdit method when a cell in a column derived from DataGridColumn enters editing mode. The DataGridTextColumn class overrides this method to prepare the hosted TextBox control for editing. When the user gesture indicates that editing mode was entered by pressing the F2 key, the cursor is positioned at the end of the text in the text box. Otherwise, the text is selected.
