We are converting a project from Infragistics to Telerik. We have some pages that are used for bulk data entry and I am looking for the best approach to duplicate these pages with RadGrid. The grid is not bound to live data, only a data table created on page load for use as a grid data source. Data will be saved as a batch whenever the user presses the [Save] button on form. (See attached image) The user is keying in water meter readings. After typing a reading in a cell, the [Enter] key is pressed updating the Usage column and advancing to the next row ready to accept the next meter reading. The arrow keys also navigate from cell to cell (up-down)

We used the ultragrid ClientSideEvents.AfterCellUpdateHandler and ClientSideEvents.EditKeyDownHandler to update a "Water Usage" column and advance to next row ready to accept next meter reading. With the ultragrid we set all the columns to ReadOnly = False  accept our data entry column. We also used the ".Tag" property to flag rows that had been changed.

Any ideas or samples?

Hi Richard,

You can take a look at the Batch Editing functionality of the Radgrid along with which you can use Keyboard Support.

Thanks,
