Keyboard Support

Updated over 6 months ago

A typical business application needs to support "heads-down" data entry that avoids the use of the mouse. With RadGridView the user can:

• Navigate the grid using only the arrow keys.

• Edit rows using the F2 or Enter keys, depending on the BeginEditMode value.

Key	Description
Up Arrow	Moves the selection up
Down Arrow	Moves the selection down
Left Arrow	Moves the selection left
Right Arrow	Moves the selection right
Enter	Opens the cell editor / Commits the changes
F2	Opens the cell editor
Esc	Deactivates cell editor and discards the changes
