Hi Syed,
You can enable the keyboard navigation of RadGrid to achieve the requested functionality:

I have a similar question, but in my case I'm using a RadGrid with batch editing enabled and with Keyboard Navigation. Tabbing between fields works great, but the problem is when I Tab into a GridTemplateColumn with a DropDownList and a Button I cannot use the Tab key to tab to the button. It just goes directly to the next column. Is there a way to do both, meaning I still want to be able to Tab to the next column and use Tab to place focus on the button? Thanks!

In the attached images you will see a RadGrid with batch editing and keyboard navigation enabled. The first image shows that the batch edit mode is set to row editing and Tabbing between fields is working.
The second image shows what happens when the Tab key is pressed to move to the last column, which is a GridTemplateColumn with just a RadDropDownList and a button in it. Notice that the RadDropDownList receives focus initially.
The third image shows what happens when the Tab key is pressed again. Here we would like the Tab key to tab over to the button inside the same column, but instead, the focus is transferred to the first column of the next row. I would like to be able to have the Tab key set focus on the button as well instead of skipping over it. I hope this is more clear.

Hello Jeremy,
This issue should be fixed in the latest internal build of the controls. Until the next actual release version, please try out the latest internal one and let us know about the result.

Eyup,
Thanks for your reply. I tried the latest internal build (trial version) and it does, in fact, fix the issue. The problem is I need the fix now. Is there a workaround I can try, or a production version of the internal build?
Thanks!

Hi Jeremy,
I have forwarded your query to our developers and the response I got was quite interesting. They replied that passing the focus to the next cell on Tab key press regardless of the current focused control is expected and this is the exact way Batch keyboard navigation should work.
As for the scenario we are involved with, it is caused by the DropDownList and currently it works correctly - the button should be ignored when Tab is pressed and the focus should pass to the next row.
Nevertheless, you can try the following approach to achieve the requested custom functionality:

I hope the clarification was helpful. Sorry for the initial confusion.

Eyup,
This is exactly what I was looking for. This code in combination with the new Q3 2013 SP DLLs did the trick. Thanks!

Hello Jeremy,
I'm glad that the suggested approach was helpful. However, please bear in mind that this is not the default behavior and different versions of the UI controls may deactivate this workaround.

I am experiencing something similar. Wondering if you can provide assistance. I am using the RadGrid with Batch Edit set to true, edit type = cell.
If I am in a cell with a textbox, and I press tab, I am taking to the next cell (expected). However, if that cell contains a rad drop down list, when I press tab, I don't go to the next cell, instead the drop down loses focus, and then the 'Save' (first command button) button in the footer is focused. I can then tab to the rest of the command buttons, and then out of the grid. But I want to tab to the next cell.

Hello Kabir,
I test the behaviour in the following live example which contains a RadDropDown. As you can see when you press the tab key the focus goes to the next cell. I am not sure which control and settings you have enabled but you can use a similar approach as the one provided in the example.
