Keydown Handler with Invalid Cell

[Koren]

I am using a custom keydown function that works great to get enter to work as a tab in Add mode and to close and move down a row in Update mode (batch editing on the grid).  However, I just realized that the enter key is closing the cell and moving down even if the cell validation fails.  How do I check whether the cell is valid before moving off the cell?

Here is the portion of the keydown function that handles the enter key...

 

if (e.keyCode === kendo.keys.ENTER) {            
            currentCell = $(e.target).closest('td');
            currentRow = $(e.target).closest('tr');
            cellIndex = currentCell.index();
            //debugger;
            if (cellIndex > -1) {
                grid = currentRow.closest("[data-role=grid").data("kendoGrid");                
                model = grid.dataItem(currentRow);
                if (model.isNew()) {
                    e.keyCode = kendo.keys.TAB;
                }
                else {
                    //debugger;
                    var nextRow = currentRow.next();
                    if (nextRow.length) {
                        //debugger;
                        var nextCell = nextRow.find("td").eq(cellIndex);
                        setTimeout(function () {
                            grid.closeCell(currentCell);
                            grid.current(nextCell);
                            grid.editCell(nextCell[0]);
                        }, 50);
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Hello Koren,

You can get reference to the editable (the internal widget which handles the edit form) and execute its end method. This method will trigger the validation and return true or false if it pass or not.

if (grid.editable && grid.editable.end()) {
  // the edit form is valid do something here....
}
