Enter Key Behavior Inside GridTemplateColumn

[Tracy]

Hi,

I have a RadGrid that is using EditMode="InPlace".  This grid has several RadComboBoxes in the Insert/Edit templates.  How can I make the [Enter] key work like the [Tab] key.  I would like to move focus to the next control when the user presses the enter key in the RadComboBox.

 

Thank You

Tracy

 

Note:  The following code OnClientFocus="TelerikOnClientFocus" OnClientBlur="TelerikOnClientLostFocus" just changes the backcolor of the control to yellow on focus and back to white when it loses focuses.

Hi Tracy,

When using RadGrid with batch edit mode, you can use the following method suggested in this forum thread: open row for edit by js code in batch mode. For the other editing modes, visit the OnKeyPress documentation article describing how to capture the event when a key is pressed on the keyboard.

Hope that helps.

kind Regards,
