[Solved] Keyboard shortcut

[Jean]

Is there a way with the keyboard to set the selected Item, I wish the enter key would do it but it just moves from one row to another without selecting anything. Is there another trick?

Hi Jean,

Currently the RadDataGrid handles the KeyDown event when the Enter key has been pressed and it does not fire. We will consider to implement a command that will allow customizing this behavior. For now, I can suggest a simple workaround: You can inherit the RadDataGrid class and override its protected OnKeyDown method like this: 

public class DataGrid : RadDataGrid
{
    protected override void OnKeyDown(KeyRoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Key == Windows.System.VirtualKey.Enter)
        {
            this.SelectedItem = this.CurrentItem;
        }
        else
        {
            base.OnKeyDown(e);
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps.
