[Solved] Batch Editing - tab key?

[Raymond]

I noticed that in-cell (i.e. batch) editing requires a mouse click into the cell.

Is there anyway to allow tabbing to navigate to the editable cells? I suspect not, so if this is the case, I would like to recommend that batch editing support tabbing in the future. This may be a potential show-stopper for my clients as they usually have 100's of rows to batch edit at once (usually on one or two columns - for example, updating the inventory quantities). I'm using your grid everywhere else in the application, and would prefer not to have to write my own for this feature.

Thanks,

I'd like to also ask or request -- once you enter the cell for edit, how do you automatically highlight the contents?

As it stands now, the user has to click the cell, wait for a delay for the editor template / textbox to show, then highlight the contents to overwrite it.

This is not very friendly for batch editing, so tips on how to improve this experience would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone?

Thanks

I'm looking for exactly the same user experience. We have a similar situation - plenty of rows that will need editing - it would be nice if you could just tab and not mouse click

Me too.  I like how it's been 3 weeks and no response to this yet.  I've had to limp along and figure out a lot of this Telerik MVC stuff myself--it's a free product, so I really can't complain about the relative lack of documentation--so if I figure out how to do this before the Telerik staff or someone else posts a solution here, I'll put up my solution.

Hello Charles,

Do you have the solution placed somewhere. Please send me a link.

Thanks

With a new Q2 2011 release you should be able to use the Tab key.

You problem will be fixed just by calling

 .KeyboardNavigation() 

Method on grid.

something like this:

Html.Telerik().Grid(Model)
        .Name("Orders")
        .DataBinding(dataBinding => dataBinding
             .Ajax()
             .Select("Select", "Home")
        )
        .Pageable()
        .Sortable()
        .KeyboardNavigation() /


Thanks
