Are you mouse-bored?

Hi all,

First of all let me introduce myself - my name is Nikolay Rusev and I am developer at one of Telerik's ASP.NET teams.

I will talk about a couple of the RadGrid sometimes easily overlooked and at the same time unique features - item selection and keyboard navigation. With the new Q2 2009 release of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX there are a lot of improvements in both directions:

  • enhanced multi row selection using Ctrl and/or Shift keys
  • firing predefined RadGrid command on key events: 

    • Edit when Enter key is pressed
    • Update/PerformInsert command on Enter key press when current focused control is inside edit/insert form
    • Cancel command when inside Edit/Insert form and Esc key is pressed 
  • ability to focus RadGrid with key combination

All of the above commands are configurable within a new section in ClientSettings of RadGrid – KeyBoardNavigationSettings.

Live demo with all new features enabled can be seen here.

As always, we will appreciate your feedback on these newly introduced enhancements of RadGrid’s keyboard support.

Happy keyboarding…
