The keyboard navigation feature of Telerik RadGrid (present since version 3.5 of
the control) allows you to:
- navigate through the grid records using the [up/down] arrow keys from the keyboard
- select grid items pressing the [SPACE] key
- edit rows hitting the [ENTER] key
To enable this feature you have to set the
ClientSettings -> AllowKeyboardNavigation
property of the grid to
true (it's default value is
false).
The keyboard navigation is especially useful when you do not want your user to be dependand on mouse
clicks when interacting with the control. It is designed in par with the Section 508
accessibility standards.
