Enter key transversal

[Chris Coetzee]

Good day,

We have a GridView and would like to do enter key traversing instead of doing Tab key traversing, when editing a row.
Note that we are using MVVM type architecture.

For a normal grid, the following works fine, but does not seem to work on the telerik RadGridView:

public class EnterKeyTraversal

{

        public static bool GetIsEnabled(DependencyObject obj)

        {

            return (bool)obj.GetValue(IsEnabledProperty);

        }

 

 

        public static void SetIsEnabled(DependencyObject obj, bool value)

        {

            obj.SetValue(IsEnabledProperty, value);

        }

 

 

        static void ue_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)

        {

            var ue = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;

 

 

            if (ue != null && (e.Key == Key.Enter && ue.GetType() != typeof(Button)))

            {

                e.Handled = true;

                ue.MoveFocus(new TraversalRequest(FocusNavigationDirection.Next));

            }

        }

 

 

        private static void ue_Unloaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            var ue = sender as FrameworkElement;

            if (ue == null)

                return;

 

 

            ue.Unloaded -= ue_Unloaded;

            ue.PreviewKeyDown -= ue_PreviewKeyDown;

        }

 

 

        public static readonly DependencyProperty IsEnabledProperty =

                DependencyProperty.RegisterAttached("IsEnabled", typeof(bool),

                typeof(EnterKeyTraversal), new UIPropertyMetadata(false, IsEnabledChanged));

 

 

        static void IsEnabledChanged(DependencyObject d, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)

        {

            var ue = d as FrameworkElement;

            if (ue == null)

                return;

 

 

            if ((bool)e.NewValue)

            {

                ue.Unloaded += ue_Unloaded;

                ue.PreviewKeyDown += ue_PreviewKeyDown;

            }

            else

            {

                ue.PreviewKeyDown -= ue_PreviewKeyDown;

            }

        }

}



Any help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards
