Checkbox Focus when Navigating with Keyboard

[Don]

We have a grid with keyboard navigation turned on and a GridClientSelectcolumn with a check box for selecting. When we use keyboard navigation the focus of the checkbox does not move with the selected row. Therefore when I press the space bar the row that has the checkbox with the focus is selected and the grid scrolls back to that row. Is this expected behavior. I would think the focus would be cleared or at the very least move with the selected row.

Hello Don,

I would suggest you to review the following online help topic which elaborates on similar scenarios:

I hope this helps.

I'll try that but what exactly is the code contained in the ActiveRowChange event handler trying to do? This is what's there which makes no sense. Obviously a formatting issue but what is it trying to do?

function ActiveRowChanged(sender, args) {
  if (sender.get_masterTableView().get_selectedItems().length < 1 || sender.get_masterTableViewget_selectedItems()[0get_id() != args.get_idargs.get_tableView().selectItemget(args.get_idscript>

Hi Don,

Excuse my previous post. The link I have sent you was wrong as the provided topic is already outdated.
I’m attaching a sample application to this post which covers your requirements. Test it on your side and let me know if this is what you need to achieve.

Hello Don,

The suggested approach about how to navigate through the grid items and select them at the same time is no longer applicable. Now this functionality is built-in for RadGrid for ASP.NET AJAX as you can see from the online example below:
