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.
Hi,
say any other possible way to make the enter key navigation to next cells?
I hope you followed David`s recommendation.
For any further questions that you might have regarding this do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi wamanring,
When you create the grid utility, you should pass in the grid as an argument to the constructor. That's why it was null. Off of the grid, there actually is a grid util already. grid._gridUtil. However, using these methods are not necessarily supported if they do not work as they are internal. The getNextCellVert should work fine, but beware this code will fire even if someone just clicks off the grid and it exits edit mode.

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.
