Hello Andrew L,

Thank you for contacting us. I am not sure that I understand your question. Please describe the desired behavior in greater detail. You can override the default grid behavior and handle the ProcessKey method. This way you can intercept when the user presses the Space key. If this is the case, please consider the code below:

this.radGridView1.GridBehavior = new CustomGridBehavior();

public class CustomGridBehavior : BaseGridBehavior
{
    public override bool ProcessKey(KeyEventArgs keys)
    {
        if (keys.KeyCode == Keys.Space)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("Hello world!");
            return true;
        }
        return base.ProcessKey(keys);
    }
}

I hope this helps.

Hello Jack ,

In code I have two different RadGridView, and one CustomGridBehaviour for this controls. Both of  RadGridView have CommandColumns. Every of columns doing something else, how can I activate that what is set to active CommandCollumn when I press Space ? Can I do that with GridBehaviour or maybe I must do thise for all RadGridView without GridBehaviur

Hello Andrew L,

You cannot click the current command button by using the grid API. However, you can identify it by using the CurrentCell property: 

public override bool ProcessKey(KeyEventArgs keys)
{
    if (keys.KeyCode == Keys.Space)
    {
        GridCommandCellElement cell = GridControl.CurrentCell as GridCommandCellElement;
        if (cell != null)
        {
            //...
        }
        return true;
    }
    return base.ProcessKey(keys);
}

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
