[Solved] Tab to cell control

[John]

Hi!
I have a grid, that contains some cells with controls in them - drop down, text box and so on.

The issue is that when I start to edit one cell, and tab to the next, and that cell contains a control. It will then tab to the cell not the control which will create a very odd scenario for the user. Is it possible to set it to tab to the control instead somehow?

<telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="ProductCode" Width="150" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Task.ProductCode}" IsGroupable="False">
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                            <TextBlock Text="Delivery Item (Task Product-doc nr)"
                                       TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxHeight="50"/>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>

                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="Task.Description" Header="Description" IsGroupable="False" TextWrapping="Wrap" Width="250">
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <TextBox AcceptsReturn="True" MinWidth="150" TextWrapping="Wrap" TabIndex="0" IsReadOnly="{Binding IsReadOnly}" Text="{Binding Task.Description, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn UniqueName="SelectedDepartment.Name" SortMemberPath="Name" IsGroupable="False"
                                             Width="100">
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                            <TextBlock Text="Responsible Department"
                                       TextWrapping="Wrap" MaxHeight="50"/>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.Header>
                    <telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding DepartmentEntities}" IsEnabled="{Binding IsEnabled}" SelectedValuePath="Id" DisplayMemberPath="Name"  SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedDepartment, Mode=TwoWay}">
                            </ComboBox>
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
                </telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

Sorry, but that's not my issue...
If I'm editing the value in the a textbox, and tab to the next cell where there is a dropdown, the dropdown control will go away and it will try to edit the cell itself, not the control in the cell.

Hello John,

In this case, you can either keep to your current solution, or use a custom CellTemplate (not CellEditTemplate) to display a TextBlock with a small graphical hint. By default, when not in edit mode, the ComboBox (defined in the CellEditTemplate) displays its value in a TextBlock - the ComboBox is shown when entering edit mode.
Furthermore you may use our ComboBoxColumn, you may read more about this here.

Kind regards,
