RadGrid Keyboard Navigation trigger Select Row on Keypress

[Paul]

I would just like to trigger a select on arrow up or arrow down, not just focus.  This loads an image into another object.

Please help.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

Try setting AllowKeyboardNavigation property to true to select row on keyboard arrow up and down.

ASPX:

<ClientSettings AllowKeyboardNavigation="true">
   <ClientEvents OnRowSelected="OnRowSelected" />
   <KeyboardNavigationSettings EnableKeyboardShortcuts="true" />
   <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true"  />
</ClientSettings>

JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function OnRowSelected(sender, args)
    {
        alert("Row selected");
    }
</script>

Please take a look into this demo for more information.

Thanks,
Shinu.

Is there anyway to trigger the code behind radgrid_SelectedIndexChanged method?

Hello Paul,

One suggestion is you can ajaxify the grid and explicitly raise a postback. Here is the sample code.
aspx:

<telerik:RadAjaxManager ID="ajax" runat="server" OnAjaxRequest="ajax_AjaxRequest">
  <AjaxSettings>
    <telerik:AjaxSetting AjaxControlID="grid1">
     <UpdatedControls>
       <telerik:AjaxUpdatedControl ControlID="grid1" />
     </UpdatedControls>
    </telerik:AjaxSetting>
 </AjaxSettings>
</telerik:RadAjaxManager>

JS:

function OnRowSelected(sender, args)
{
 var ajaxManager = $find("<%= ajax.ClientID %>").ajaxRequest("Selected");
}

C#:

protected void ajax_AjaxRequest(object sender, AjaxRequestEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Argument == "Selected")
 {
 }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
