Selecting row with Tab Key navigation (without postback)

[Jeff]

Hello,

I've looked through the forums with no luck for the specifics required.

I have the need to select the current row of the grid where the cell is being edited.  When using a mouse click, the desired row is selected. However, when using the Tab Key (or arrow keys), the row is not selected.  I have tried finding the proper event that has a rowindex type argument to use to select the current row, but have failed so far.

Note:  This is for a grid in Batch Edit mode, so I need to do this solely on the Client side.

Thanks in advance,

g.

Hi Jeff,

You can use the following approach to achieve this requirement:

<ClientEvents OnBatchEditOpened="batchEditOpened" />

JavaScript:

function batchEditOpened(sender, args) {
    var row = args.get_row();
    if (!row.control.get_selected()) {
        args.get_tableView().selectItem(row);
    }
}

That should do the trick. In addition, I am also attaching a sample RadGrid web site sample.
