How to enable tabs inside a cell editor

[ManniAT]

Hi,

to edit custom data I provide my own editor (some controls for the data).
Assume there are some checkboxes. I uncheck (by mouse) the first and then I decide to use keyboard input.
So I press tab to go to the next checkbox (or whatever there is in my "user control").
But instead of selecting the next element in my editor it leaves the cell.

Did I oversee some property I have to set - or does this mean "RadGridView" has limited keyboard support?

If you want to see what I mean you can check (after screening) my code library post here:

Hello ManniAT,

Generally, RadGridView handles TAB key down in order to enable "smart TAB navigation feature". So if you do not handle TAB key down event, RadGridView moves focus to the next (according with TAB direction) GridViewCell. Fortunately in WPF you can handle properly TAB navigation with a few lines of code.

I'm attaching a modified version of the example from your code library for a reference. I've changed only GVAccessTimeEditor.cs file.

Hope this helps.

Hi Nedyalko,

OK - this means RadGridview does "special key handling" and therefore declarative setting of the tab configuration (local, etc.) doesn't work.
Good to know.

Thank you for the workaround - it works as expected
