Allow Keyboard navigation but execute postback in rowclick(mouse click) or Enter key

[Nelbin]

     <ClientSettings AllowKeyboardNavigation="true"  EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true" >
   <ClientEvents />
   <KeyboardNavigationSettings EnableKeyboardShortcuts="true" />
   <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true"  />
</ClientSettings>

Good day  there seems to be a problem with my code, I know the keyboard navigation works(browsing through the grid list using up and down keys) but the mouseclick doesnt work(not executing the postback). I have a function that executes on postback. and also can I change the enter keys function by executing my function instead of editing the data.

Hi Nelbin,

You can use the following approach:

<ClientSettings AllowKeyboardNavigation="true" EnablePostBackOnRowClick="true">
    <ClientEvents OnKeyPress="keyPress" />
    <Selecting AllowRowSelect="true" />
</ClientSettings>

JavaScript:

function keyPress(sender, args) {
    if (args.get_keyCode() == 13) {
        args.set_cancel(true);
        if (sender._activeRow) {
            sender._activeRow.click();
        }
    }
}

Alternatively, you can fire grid commands using the method demonstrated in the following article:

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.

Hi Eyup,

The keyboard navigation isn't working on what you gave. But the mouse click is. Also my current code has a Onrowselected function, during a rowselect I get a data in ClientDataKeyNames via javascript. I tried your code with and without my OnRowSelected function still it doesn't move by key nav

Hello Nelbin,

I have prepared a sample RadGrid web site to demonstrate that the suggested approach works as expected. Can you please run the attached application and verify that the keyboard navigation works correctly on your side, too?
