Move to next Cell in a Column when Enter Button is pressed

[Rahul Makwana]

I have a GridDataControl, in which I would like to know how to achieve following : 

There are three columns, only one of those is editable. I want user to be able to move to next cell in editable Column only when Enter is pressed.

How can I achieve this ?

Hi Rahul, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

 

We have checked your query and you can achieve your requirement by using SfDataGrid.PreviewKeyDown event. In sample, the Name column only editable and while pressing the Enter key the focus move to next cell (next row)of editable column. 

 

 

Please refer the below code example 

 

         this.grid.PreviewKeyDown += Grid_PreviewKeyDown;        

 

        private void Grid_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) 

        { 

            //Get the row index of current cell             

            var rowindex = grid.Model.CurrencyManager.CurrentCell.RowIndex; 

            if (rowindex < (grid.Model.RowCount - 1)) 

            { 

                //Get the column index of current cell 

                var colindex = grid.Model.CurrencyManager.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex; 

                if (e.Key == Key.Enter) 

                { 

                    //Need to move the selection into next row of current column  

                    grid.Model.CurrencyManager.CurrentCell.MoveTo(rowindex + 1, colindex); 

                    e.Handled = true; 

                } 

            } 

        }
