From our research we have found that tabbing works only in specific scenarios for ignite ui datagrid: 1. when filter is enabled - for navigatiing the filter row, 2. sorting - navigating the columns for sorting, 3. paging - navigate the paging ui (dropdowns for records/page).
Is there a way to setup the grid so that when the user tabs into it the first row is selected and then the arrow keys can be used to move between rows? This would be for a read only grid.
Hello Tammy,
Thank you for contacting Infragistics.
I am currently looking into how this may be achieved. I am currently looking into using the jQuery keyDown and focus events to detect when the grid is tabbed to and then use the selection behavior of the grid to select the row. I will continue to look into this matter and will update you with my progress.
Thank you for your patience. I am currently looking further into this matter to see how this behavior may be achieved. I am currently discussing this with our development team. I will continue to look into this matter and will update you with my progress.
