skip column in edit view

[Ryan]

Hi all,
I am using a radgrid and allowing multi-row edit in inline edit form. I have 2 columns, 1 of which I would like to skip. Since the use only wants to tab though the one column, i need to figure out a way for him to hit tab and essentially skip the second column and go directly to the row below.

I have found zero on this topic on regular gridview or radgrid.

Could I programmatically get tab to equal tab +1 (i.e. add an additional tab to one tab click)

Help appreciated.

Hello Ryan,

The easiest way to achieve the desired behavior is to set the second column to be non-editable (ReadOnly="true"). In this way in edit mode there will be no textboxes in that column and the tab sequence will include only textboxes from the first column.

All the best,

Used the below

 

Protected Sub RadGrid1_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.PreRender

 

 

For Each dataItem As Telerik.WebControls.GridDataItem In RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items

 

dataItem.Edit =

True

 

 

Next

 

RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Rebind()

 

For Each dataItem As Telerik.WebControls.GridItem In RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items

 

 

If TypeOf dataItem Is Telerik.WebControls.GridEditableItem Then

 

 

Dim editableItem As Telerik.WebControls.GridEditableItem = CType(dataItem, Telerik.WebControls.GridDataItem)

 

 

CType(editableItem("Ret").FindControl("RetTextBox"), TextBox).TabIndex = 1

 

 

End If

 

 

Next

 

 

End Sub

Hi Ryan,

As Dimo explained in the above post you just need to set the second columns readonly property to true,

Please go through the online demo link below that implements a  similar scenario where the OrderID field is set to  ReadOnly so it wont appear while editing.

 <rad:GridBoundColumn ReadOnly="True" HeaderText="OrderID" DataField="OrderID" SortExpression="OrderID"
                            UniqueName="OrderID">

Thanks,
Shinu.
