[Solved] Access to record by keayboard

[roodeck]

Hi,

I would like to have access to the record in telerikGrid using keyboard.
So by pressing "Enter" I would like get ID of the record so I could work with that. 

How can I achieve that ?

Simple KeyDown event does not seems to work.

Hello Piotr,

Thank you for contacting us.

As the RadDataGrid handles the Enter key internally(moves the current item to the next available), the KeyDown event does not raise when the Enter key is pressed. I will forward this feedback to our development team to consider to improve the current logic.
Could you please elaborate a bit more on your scenario and could you tell us if this is critical to you?

I am looking forward to your reply.

Hello Ivaylo,

That is the only reason my app can't pass certification process in windows store.

I keep getting

Content compliance: failed

This test evaluates your software for content compliance with Windows Store Certification Requirements. Learn more

Your app doesn't meet requirement 3.5. Learn more

Commons reasons why apps fail this requirement:

• One or more tiles in the app don't work with touch.
• The app doesn't support keyboard and mouse.

with indication that user is able to access item in the grid only by double tap but not by keyboard.

Hi Piotr,

From the provided information I am not sure why the certification fails. So far, none of the applications in the Windows Store which use RadDataGrid have such problem, including our Telerik Controls Examples(QSF).
In our Q3 2013 official release we will introduce a command that will execute on the KeyDown event and it will pass the needed event arguments that will allow you to implement this scenario. 

Let me know should you have any questions.

Hello,

After few attempts eventually managed to pass certification process.

I didn't change anything. I guess it is all depends of testers. Some of them are more scrupulous then others...

Looking forward new release where keyboard option will be available.

Until that time every update of my app might a nuisance.

Regards
