Keyboard Spacebar Select

[Don]

In my grid if I have GridCellSelectionMode set to SingleCell, pressing the space bar does not select the row, even if I am on the checkbox cell. Setting it to None allows the selection to work. Is there a way to select the row selection checkbox with the selection mode set to SingleCell?

BTW, it needs to be single cell for the assistive tech reader to read the contents of the cell.

Hello Don,

You can use the following approach:

<ClientSettings AllowKeyboardNavigation="true">
    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" CellSelectionMode="SingleCell" />
    <ClientEvents OnKeyPress="keyPress" />
</ClientSettings>

JavaScript:

function keyPress(sender, args) {

    if (args.get_keyCode() == 32) { 


        var rowEl = sender._cellSelection._current[0].parentNode;

        if (rowEl) {

            var checkBox = $(rowEl).children().find("[type=checkbox]")[0];

            checkBox.click();

        }

    }

}

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

All the best,
