[Solved] Tabbing out of EditTemplate causes grid to unselect items

[Inquisitor Jax]

When tabbing from one cell to the next, and the last cell in a row is reached, pressing tab again seems to shift the focus to the next focusable control (even though it looks like the first cell of the next row is in edit mode).

It seems to me that the grid should remain the focused control, and the next row be selected? (which is not happening)

EDIT: The caret moved to the next row, but is seems that the row isn't highlighted as selected, and the selection_Changed event didn't fire.

Hi Inquisitor Jax,

When tabbing from the last cell in a row the focus move to the first cell in the next row or if there are no more rows then the focus leaves the gridView. No Selection changed event is fired because you are editing the cells (not selecting new row).
We had a bug in the control - once you jump to the next edited row we cleared the selected row.
This has been fixed and the fix will be available in the next latest internal build.
Thank you for your feedback.

Best wishes,

Thanks Hristo.

What's the best way to force selection when the cell of the next row get's edited?

Here's what I have:

private void DataGrid_BeginningEdit(object sender, GridViewBeginningEditRoutedEventArgs e)

        {

            //When tabbing between cells, and tab goes to next row, make that row the selected record

            object dataItem = e.Cell.DataContext;

            _dgrdDetailRecords.SelectedItem = dataItem

        }

Hi Inquisitor Jax,

The proposed solution works fine, so I think it is OK.
We will consider making such behavior default for the RadGridView.
Thank you for the feedback.
