[Solved] Setting Tabindex for GridButtonColumn

[Khalid Dermoumi]

Hi,

i have a RadGrid with GridButtonColumns. The user needs to be able to navigate the buttons generated by the GridButtonColumns with the keyboard. There lies the problem: i can't set a TabIndex to the column and consequently the buttons are not included in keyboard navigation.
I can set a Tabindex to the Grid as a whole, but not to the columns. What can be done?

Hello Khalid,

You can access the buttons for the ButtonColumn and set the tabindex for the buttons.Check out the following example:
aspx:

<telerik:GridButtonColumn  ButtonType="LinkButton" HeaderText="Button Column" Text="sfsdf" Text="Button" UniqueName="ButtonColumn"></telerik:GridButtonColumn>

c#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            ((LinkButton)item["ButtonColumn"].Controls[0]).TabIndex = 1;
        }
   }

Thanks
Princy.
