KendoUI Grid single click dropdown activation

jquery, kendo-grid, kendo-ui

Solution

Use the edit event of the Grid and the open method of the DropDownList.enter link description here

e.g.

edit:function(e){
    var ddl = e.container.find('[data-role=dropdownlist]').data('kendoDropDownList');
    if(ddl){
       ddl.open();
    }
},

Here is live example.

Problem

Currently when I want to pick an item from a list in my grid I have to click twice. First click makes the dropdown selector appear, second click opens up the list so I can pick an item. How do I make it so I only have to click once to activate the dropdown selector and open the list?
