Using Keystrokes to navigate WebGrid

Hello Ahmed,

What firefox version that you used. In Firefox, you should be able to navigate the cell much like IE. When inside editable mode, you could not just navigate just using keyboard.

We have behaviour when using arrow within edit mode, it will navigate in the editted text inside, not to navigate through into other cell. Also, in our documentation, it does not mean for edit mode.

If you want to have that scenario, you should hanlde it by yourself. We have clientside event OnEditKeyDown. You need to validate keyCode for the arrow. If it is valid, just navigate moving to next cell by calling ExitEdit() first.

Regards,
Handy

Hans,

Thanks for the reply. This works great in IE but does not work well in Firefox. In Firefox, I have double click inside a cell, exit the edit mode and only then can move around using the arrow keys. Just want to make you aware of the issue.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

If you want to select the WebGrid’s cell, like you did in Excel.
Please try to set the “CellClickAction” property to “CellSelect”.

Regards,
Hans.

Hi,

According to this Help document, I should be able to navigate the grid using my keyboard arrows. However, I cannot. What do I need to do to enable this behavior?

Basically, I want to be able to move around the grid with my keyboard arrow keys as if I am inside Excel.

Thanks!
