Detect Current Column/Keypress During Edit

[J]

I am trying to detect when a user presses the Tab key inside the last column of my inline edit form.  When they press Tab on the last column, I want the grid to create a new row, put it into edit mode, and move the cursor there.

I can already do this with the Enter key but I cannot figure out how to tell when the Tab key is pressed in the last column and only when in the last column.

Any ideas?  I know I can add character/key code 9 for Tab but I can't tell which column I'm in when it detects it.  I'm sure it's probably something simple that I've overlooked.

The last column's definition:

<telerik:GridBoundColumn ConvertEmptyStringToNull="False" DataField="Email" FilterControlAltText="Filter Email column"
    HeaderText="Email" SortExpression="Email" UniqueName="Email" EmptyDataText=""
    ColumnEditorID="txtGridEdit_Email" ShowSortIcon="False">
    <HeaderStyle Width="100px" Wrap="False" HorizontalAlign="Left" CssClass="grid-header" VerticalAlign="Top"/>
    <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" Width="100%" VerticalAlign="Top" />
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

The column editor:

<telerik:GridTextBoxColumnEditor ID="txtGridEdit_Email" runat="server" TextBoxStyle-Width="99%"  />

The javascript I'm using on the Keypress event (client side):

/// <summary>
/// Handles the client side KeyPress event of the Athletes grid.
/// </summary>
function OnKeyPress(sender, args) {
    //Check for the Enter/Tab key being pressed
    if ((args._domEvent.charCode == 13) || (args.get_keyCode() == 13)) {
        //If currently editing a row, commit the changes and stop the editing
        if (rowEditedItem) {
            bHasChanges = false;
            $find(sAthleteGridID).get_masterTableView().updateItem(rowEditedItem);
        }
    }
    else if ((args.get_keyCode() == 27) || (args._domEvent.charCode == 27)) //Check for the Esc key being press
    {
        $find(sAthleteGridID).get_masterTableView().fireCommand("CancelAll", ""); //Cancel any editing activities in the grid
        $find(sAthleteGridID).get_masterTableView().clearSelectedItems(); //De-select any rows
    }
}

I created the following javascript function which properly detects the Tab key being pressed:

/// <summary>
/// Handles the client side KeyPress event of the Athletes grid.
/// </summary>
function GridColKeyPress(sender, args) {
    var ret_bHandlePress;
    var keyPressed;

    ret_bHandlePress = true;
    args = (args || window.event);
    keyPressed = (args.which || args.keyCode);

    //Check for the Tab key being pressed
    if ((keyPressed == 9) && !args.shiftKey && !args.ctrlKey && !args.altKey) {
        //If currently editing a row, commit the changes and stop the editing
        if (rowEditedItem) {
            bHasChanges = false;
            $find(sAthleteGridID).get_masterTableView().updateItem(rowEditedItem);
            $find(sAthleteGridID).get_masterTableView().fireCommand("InitInsert", "");
        }

        ret_bHandlePress = false;
        args.handled = true;
        args.preventDefault();
    }

    return ret_bHandlePress;
}

Added the following to my grid's ItemDataBound event:

protected void grdAthletes_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    Control ctrlFields = null;

    try
    {
        //Some controls don't load the values into the custom editor's automatically so force the values through
        if (e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            ctrlFields = ((GridEditableItem)e.Item)["Email"].Controls[0];
            ((TextBox)ctrlFields).TabIndex = 56;
            ((TextBox)ctrlFields).Attributes.Add("OnKeyPress", "return GridColKeyPress('" + ctrlFields.ClientID + "', event)");
            ((TextBox)ctrlFields).Attributes.Add("OnKeyDown", "return GridColKeyPress('" + ctrlFields.ClientID + "', event)");
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print("Error: " + ex.ToString());
        Exceptions.ProcessModuleLoadException(this, ex);
    }
}

This properly detects the Tab key being pressed, BUT if I leave the javascript as-is, the Tab key basically gets disabled while in that field.  I can remove the 'handled', 'preventDefault', and return True instead, which allows tabbing in/out of the field but neither approach allows the 'InitInsert' event to fire (I also tried using 'AddNewRow' instead of 'InitInsert' but no change).

Any ideas?  It's SOOOOO close, just need a way to tell the grid from the client side that it needs to fire off the add new row event just like the 'Add' button from the command bar does.

I got it working.  I removed the lines from the javascript that caused the return value to be false and then fixed my other functions which were causing my failure to detect a row was being edited/inserted and then other lines in my code behind which were meant to prevent trying to save rows with insufficient data was causing the insert command to not get fired properly.

Also, the Tab key can only be detected by using the OnKeyDown event and not the OnKeyPress.

Thanks for ... well ...  o_o

I spoke too soon.  It looked like it was working due to a glitch on my part.

I cannot get the client side code to create a new row and put it into edit mode.

Any ideas?

Hi Juan,

The functionality desired can be achieved using the fireCommand client-side method. In order to open the insert from you will first have to obtain a reference to the MasterTableView and then fire an appropriate command, in the particular case InitInsert. This is also demonstrated in the code snippet below:

function InitInserForGrid()
      {
          var grid = $find("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID %>");
          grid.get_masterTableView().fireCommand("InitInsert", "");
      }

Yes, I'm aware of that.  The value of 'sAthletesGrid' is populated using:

var sAthleteGridID = "<%=grdAthletes.ClientID %>";

For completeness' sake, here's the entire javascript right now so you can see all the related pieces:

        function btnFindMember_ClientClick(sender) {

So ... as it stands, something has broken my Enter and Esc key handling.  They keys get trapped but for some reason aren't firing the grid events like they used to (they were working until recently when I started trying to add the Tab functionality).  Enter would commit the row and trigger a new row to be created in edit mode, Escape cancelled the current row insert/update, and I wanted to add Tab in the last field acting like the Enter key was pressed.  But right now, none are able to cause the grid to fire off the events to make those things happen.

[J]

By making the following changes I was able to get my Enter and Esc keys processed again.  Still no luck with getting Tab to work the way I want though.

Any ideas?  Anyone?

Hi Juan,

The problem in your case is that the tab click is being escaped thus the OnKeyPress event will not fire. To resolve the problem I suggest that you modify your last column to be a GridTemplateColumn and wrap the input control in the EditItemTemplate in a div. Later you can intercept the OnKeyDown event of the div and execute the logic desired:

ASPX:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="TemplateColumn">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        Your template
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    <EditItemTemplate>
                        <div id="somediv" onkeydown="keyDownEvent(this)">
                            //your input control
                        </div>
                    </EditItemTemplate>
                </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

JavaScript:

function keyDownEvent(e)
    {
        //Put the JavaScript logic here.
    }

No, that's not it, but thanks.  I've got it fixed and working now for Enter, Escape, and Tab and events are now being triggered by the 'fireCommand' calls.  I still need to clean up the code now and remove some things that are no longer needed and what not but here's where it is right now.
