[Solved] Tabbing through the "batch editing" interface?

[Renee]

Taking a look at the new Grid demos on the site for the Q1 2011 release, I wondered if there was any thought given to being able to tab through the "batch editing" inputs in the grid?  Users are far less efficient when they are forced to use the mouse, and for something like a data grid, tabbing through the columns to be able to quickly edit the values seems like the most straightforward way to go.

Hello Renee,

 Tabbing through the editing interface is not currently implemented. We will look into implementing it in a future release.

I agree, this would be a nice feature.  Having to click through with the mouse is inefficient when users will be updating large data sets.  I'm looking specifically for a solution that will allow a user to tab through with keystrokes.  Turning on all cells to edit mode would solve this problem, similar to how all cells can be turned on in a row using line by line editing.

Hi,

Just wanted to say that I'd like to see this feature too - it would make the grid fantasic!!!

This is key for using it for back-office business applications. As for business applications one needs the user interface as provided by a Winform grid - ability to move through columns by tabbing or arrow keys.
I have a project for a back-office application that needs to commence in June - it will go on to become a mid-size ERP solution. Without this ability the team is leaning for a competitions product - is there a time line when tabbing will be made available?
