Hello,
We are using the RadGrid control and have more columns than can be viewed at one time on screen, so we use static headers and frozen columns, along with in-line editing controls.
The problem we are having is that when users navigate across the edit row, they use the Tab key, which is the expected way to navigate editing controls in a row as using the mouse would be way too cumbersome and time consuming. When the user reaches the last visible column in the grid and tabs to the next one, the frozen columns scroll with the rest of the columns, rendering the FrozenColumns feature useless unless the user is using the mouse to scroll across the grid.
I notice forum posts on this same issue dating back to 2008 with numerous promises from Telerik to fix it in the next official release. It's now 2013 and we are having this same problem. Can someone please provide a fix or workaround to correct this problem? I noticed one post from a Telerik person stating that you can subscribe to the edit control's onfocus event and scroll using javascript, but there was no example code to demonstrate this.
Has anyone successfully resolved this issue? If so, can you please post some example code demonstrating the fix?
Thanks,
Charlie

Hi Charlie,
As pointed in the article for frozen columns the described scenario is not supported - When frozen columns are used, tabbing between the textboxes in an inline edit form is not supported out-of-the-box. Please excuse us for the inconvenience caused.
