[Solved] Row Navigation

[Keith]

I'm putting a couple questuins in this one, as it all has to do with navigation.

1) I would like to navigate through the grid by row, but I don't see a standard way of doing that. Currently when navigation is turned on, it only does so by cell. Am I missing something obvious, or do you have any suggestions?

2) When I navigate up or down a scrollable Grid, the grid does not scroll when I navigate to an element that is completely hidden, nor partially hidden. Is this a bug?
Have you or anyone else already created a workaround or example of adding this behavior to a scrollable grid?

Hi Keith,

Indeed, the Grid uses cell keyboard navigation. It does not prevent you from moving row by row, on the contrary - if horizontal scrolling is active, the user can choose which part of the rows to see.

Keyboard navigation is not supported with virtual scrolling, due to the inability to calculate the correct scroll offset that would need to be set while navigating.

You answered my second question. That's too bad about virtual scrolling, so I may just need to turn off the navigation for those tables to avoid confusion.

I think you misunderstood my first question (although you did provide some good information on horizontal scrolling), so let me rephrase.

When I press the down arrow, instead of highlighting and focusing only the next cell below (or above for up arrows) I would like it to highlight and focus the entire row. Any suggestions?

Hi Keith,

I understood your question well, unfortunately, this is not supported.

Gotcha. It seemed like you thought I was asking if I could navigate to cells within a row and have it scroll horizontally (which re-reading my question would have been a logical interpretation).

It's not too important, but I can probably get it to do that with some CSS styling. I was just hoping there was already something like that.

Thanks for your help.
