How to make the enter key navigate to a new cell after editing
posted

I have a WebDataGrid, 11.1 that allows in cell editing.  When the user hits the enter key to finish editing I woudl like to navigate to the next cell.  Preferably I would like to be able to be able to control whether that is the next row or the next column.

Before I start getting involved in writing a lot of javascript to do this I was wondering if this is a built in behavior that I am not seeing how to configure or if there is a simple example of how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

    I think I found the answer myself.  This code seems to work, but one line seems a little strange to me.

     function WebDataGrid1_CellEditing_ExitedEditMode(sender, eventArgs)
    {
     ///<summary>
     ///
     ///</summary>
     ///<param name="sender" type="Infragistics.Web.UI.WebDataGrid"></param>
     ///<param name="eventArgs" type="Infragistics.Web.UI.EditModeEventArgs"></param>

        // Commit the changes to the server
        var oBehavior = sender.get_behaviors();
        oBehavior.get_editingCore().commit();

        // Move to the next cell  
     var oCurrentCell = eventArgs.getCell();

     // Make the new cell active
     var oUtility = new Infragistics.Web.UI.GridUtility();

        // Not sure why I have to set this property - it doesn't seem to be a documented property.
     oUtility._grid = sender;

     var oNextCell = oUtility.getNextCellVert(oCurrentCell);
     oBehavior.get_activation().set_activeCell(oNextCell);

    }

    I'm using the GridUtility object and I am explicitly setting the _grid prperty:

    oUtility._grid = sender;

    If I don't do this then the getNextCellVert function has a nell reference exception on the _grid property.  Is this the correct way to do this? 

    If there is a better way of doing this I would like to know.
