Initializing HtmlViewDefinition:

 Dim htmlView As New HtmlViewDefinition

        With htmlView.RowTemplate
            .Rows.Add(New RowDefinition)
            .Rows(0).Cells.Add(New CellDefinition("cmbIcpmppCode"))
            .Rows(0).Cells.Add(New CellDefinition("dtDatum"))
            .Rows(0).Cells.Add(New CellDefinition("cmbLocal"))
            .Rows(0).Cells.Add(New CellDefinition("txtZusatz"))
            .Rows(0).Cells.Add(New CellDefinition("chkHauptleistung"))
            .Rows(0).Cells.Add(New CellDefinition("grdCmdDelete"))

            .Rows(0).Cells(1).RowSpan = 2
            .Rows(0).Cells(2).RowSpan = 2
            .Rows(0).Cells(3).RowSpan = 2
            .Rows(0).Cells(4).RowSpan = 2
            .Rows(0).Cells(5).RowSpan = 2

            .Rows.Add(New RowDefinition)
            .Rows(1).Cells.Add(New CellDefinition("cmbArzt"))

        End With
        grdOPdaten2.ViewDefinition = htmlView

Hello willi,

Thank you for contacting us.

The tab order is defined by the RenderColumns collection of the HtmlViewDefinition class, and you can't change it. However, you can replace the default grid behavior and override the ProcessTabKey method. This way you will gain full control over keyboard events and you can implement any desired tab behavior. Here is a sample:

radGridView1.GridBehavior = new GridBehavior();

public class GridBehavior : BaseGridBehavior
{
    protected override bool ProcessTabKey(KeyEventArgs keys)
    {
        GridViewDataColumn dataColumn = GridControl.CurrentColumn as GridViewDataColumn;
        if (dataColumn.UniqueName == "ICPM++ Code")
        {
            GridControl.Columns["Datum"].IsCurrent = true;
            return true;
        }
        return base.ProcessTabKey(keys);
    }
}

 

Sincerely yours,
