responding to the enter key

[Jonathan]

I'd like to respond to the enter key when a row is highlighted.  i.e. select the row using the arrow keys, then hit enter and essentially duplicate the functionality of the doubleclick action grabbing the row.datacontext like so:

private void GridViewImportTransactions_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseButtonEventArgs e)
        {
            FrameworkElement originalSender = e.OriginalSource as FrameworkElement;
            if (originalSender != null)
            {
                var row = originalSender.ParentOfType<Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.GridViewRow>();
                if (row != null)
                {
                    //MessageBox.Show("The double-clicked row is " + ((PacerImportTransaction)row.DataContext).ID);
                    RawDataWindow _rawDataWindow = new RawDataWindow(((PacerImportTransaction)row.DataContext));
                    _rawDataWindow.ShowDialog();
                }
            }

        }

how do I do that?

Hi Jonathan,

You could subscribe to the RowActivated event of the RadGridView. It is fired by double-clicking on the row or by pressing the Enter key, the value of the row could be found in e.Row:

private void playersGrid_RowActivated(object sender, Telerik.Windows.Controls.GridView.RowEventArgs e)
{
      var dataContext = e.Row.DataContext;
}

You could find helpful this blog post about how ho change the default keyboard behavior.

In order to change the current functionality of the Enter key (that is to move the selection to the next row), you should define a CustomKeyboardProvider. I am attaching a sample project showing how to change the behavior of the Enter key so that it behaves as double click does.

I hope that this answers your question.
