ASP Datagrib Navigation (arrow up/down)

[johnpienaar]

Hi

I've got a standard VS datagrid (I'm developing in visual studio 2003) and I've converted a few columns to template columns and replaced the labels with textboxes for input.

The tab navigation moves from left to right, but I would like the users to be able to navigate through the cells with the arrow keys (ie up/down, left and right)

Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Help would be greatly appreciated

John

If you are talking about when the row is in edit mode, you need to set the TabIndex property of each control.

You'll have to use javascript but it won't be that easy as you'll have to add the javascript once the user invokes the edit (as I'm assuming that's where you want the navigation to take place) and you'll have to find each of the client id's for the textboxes by using FindControl to get a reference to each TextBox.

John,
did you ever figure out the javascript code to your question? I've got the same issue.
