Requirements
RadControls version 2009.1.527.39
.NET version	3.5
Visual Studio version	2008
programming language	C# or VB
browser support	all browsers supported by RadControls

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
[When there is a RadGrid on a page, if a user hits "Enter" the Delete command from the grid fires... Attached is a javascript function to trap the enter key so that it does not fire the Delete command. Also if you have multi line textboxes and would like to enable the enter key see notes for code behind.]

Hello Ray,

Thank you for the provided code snippets. The behavior you depicted can be observed when you have delete column in the grid and one of the buttons in it happens to be the first submit button on the page when the end user pressed the [ENTER] key from the keyboard.

How to prevent the unwanted delete operation from being triggered you can see from the implementation on this online demo (see the SuppressBubbling javascript method). It seems that you discovered an alternative solution and hence I am converting this thread to a forum post in order to be available for other members from the Telerik community. I also updated your Telerik points for the involvement.

Kind regards,

hello,
i went to your online demo and if you click on the scroll bar, let go of the mouse, and hit the enter key, it still asks you "Are you sure you want to Delete this record?"
thats exactly what i dont want to happen and that is why i posted the code...

thank you

Hi Ray,

In this case, you can suppress the event bubbling on a page-level. You can assign an onkeydown client side event handler for the whole form, and cancel out the enter key press, when it is not necessary.
Naturally, the approach which you came up initially with, can also be used.
I am sure the community will find one of these approaches useful.

Hello Upender,

You can use a hidden button to achieve this requirement:
