Customization on Grid for selecting a row on space key

[Sandeep]

Hi,

We're using the Kendo grid in our mvc application.
We have made some custom changes to select a record on click of Spacebar and on Enter it will open the selected record.
Changes involve using capturing event key code and selecting or opening of record in jquery.
This is working for us except for the following scenario:
If user navigates to the column header using up/down arrow then come back to any record (Unselected one) and clicks Spacebar: record is not being selected as well as Enter key does not work.
Unsure why this is happening, kindly help us resolve this.

Thanks,
Sandeep.

Hi Sandeep,


By design when the built in Grid navigation is enabled, the space-bar button is used to select a row and the enter button to put the current row in edit mode. I assume that this is the behavior that you are looking for. Regarding the custom modifications to the functionality, please keep mind that they are not part of our standard support services, so we could not provide assistance on that matter.
