Dear EO Team Support,

I am currently working a web application for one of my customer which requires a very user friendly grid to input sales order items.
One of the requirement is that the user should be able to do navigation through the cells using "tab" key.
my question is:
- can i set the "arrow" navigation of the eo grid to "tab" key
- i tried the grid and set some hidden columns, and when i did arrow navigation when it stumble the hidden column it still select the hidden columns but just not shown. for example: i have 3 columns: A,B,C. then i set column "B" to be hidden. when i navigate using the arrow from a cell in column "A" to a cell in column "C" i notice that it stops in column "B" but since column "B" is hidden, the cursor just dissapears. Is there a workarround for this ?


Thanks,

Yudi

Hi,

The second issue seems to be a bug. As for the first issue, there is no way to use tab key to navigate Grid cells for now. However we will look into it and see if we can implement that while we look into the hidden column bug. We should have an update for you early next week if we do implement this, or if for some reason we can not implement it, we will let you know as early as possible.

Thanks!

I have a question on the Keyboard Navigation, I can get the cursor to move from 1 cell to the next cell with tab or arrow keys, but I can't type on the cell unless I press "enter" key first, am I missing something?

Yudianto,
If you have hidden columns why not place then tour the end of the grid? at least they will not be in the middle of the data entry for the actual cells...just a suggestion!

That's normal. Selecting the cell and putting the cell into edit mode are two different things that do not have to happen together. If you wish them to hapen together, you can handle the Grid's ClientSideOnCellSelected event and call this method to put the selected cell into edit mode:

This is a good idea. Thanks for sharing!

Hi,

We have posted a new build that should fix the hidden column issue for you. It also supports tab key navigation. Please see your private message for the download location.

Thanks!
