DxGrid - How to move to next row (cell in the same column) when Enter key is pressed after typing value

created 6 months ago

Hello

There is any already builtin mechanism to achieve this functionality ?

Or any example to be followed, like a javascript keyboard hook ?

Best Regards

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Currently, the DxGrid component does not have a built-in option to customize the current navigation behavior in EditMode, and there is no available workaround either. We have plans to add this feature in the future, but we cannot share an exact timeline at present.

Regards,
Gian

UPD:
We are happy to announce that we recently released v25.1.3. This version introduces the following properties:

  • EditOnKeyPress mode. To start editing automatically when you begin typing, use this mode. You don't need to press Enter.
  • EnterKeyDirection property. If you set this property value to Column, then the focus moves one cell down in the same column when you press the Enter key.

This behavior is described in the following help topic: v25.1 Release Notes.

You can explore and test these features in the following online demo: Blazor: Grid - Edit Data - Edit Cell.

      Good morning,

      please set it as a very important funcionality to be done as soon as possible.

      It's necessary to allow users to fast-edit values inside grids. It's not acceptable to "mouse click in -digit value-mouse click out", this takes too much time for every real world data-entry scenery.

      This will block our development for a specific project, where data-entry needs to be fast.
