[Solved] Trouble with in-cell and in-line modes

[John]

Hello,

    I'm having the following issues with both in-cell and in-line modes:

In-Cell:

    I.  Hitting TAB moves to the next field, which is great, but you have to hit <ENTER> in order to edit the cell content.  Is there another way that TAB would give the cell focus?

    2.  Tabbing off a row tabs out of the grid and who knows where.  Can't it go to the next line?

In Line

   1.  Posting back row data only posts for the visible fields, not the entire object if it had hidden cells.
   2.  It also returns some other data object, not the one we originally bound the grid to.

    Any answers would be greatly appreciated since we may have to replace this product....soon.

Thanks!

Hello John,

Straight to the questions:
 - InCell - edit cell on TAB is currently not supported. There is no easy way to achieve this. When cell isn't edited the TAB press is not handled and the focus is moved based on tab index. We have plans to introduce an options in the keyboard navigation that will change TAB behavior in a way you describe it.

- InLine - Grid is creating an editor for each column. As a result only the properties which are displayed as columns are editable.

In in-forms or pop-up mode Telerik Grid for ASP.NET MVC is creating an editor for the bound object (using Html.EditorFor<T>). As a result all editable properties of the bound object are displayed in the edit form. This behavior differs from in-line mode where only the bound properties (properties for which a column is defined) are editable.
