Hi Conrad,

     Here is the sample code to use Enter key as a Tab key when we are adding a new row in WebGrid. In here, I am still using OnEditKeyDown. Here is the snippet:

 function WebGrid1_OnEditKeyDown(controlId) {
            var WebGrid1 = ISGetObject(controlId);
            var position = WebGrid1.GetActiveEditCell().cellIndex;
           
            if (event.keyCode == 13) {
                WebGrid1.GetActiveEditCell().ToCellObject().GetRow().GetCells()[position].Se                lect();
            }
            return true;
        }
        

      I hope it helps and please, do not hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Andi,

Using the code above, I receive the error message attached.

Thanks,

Conrad

Hi Conrad,

     In your case, it seems that the object is null. Here, I attached a simple running sample that using "Enter" as a "Tab" button in adding new row on WebGrid. Would you kindly try to run my sample and see if the issue is still occurred. My sample is using Northwind Customer database.

     I hope it helps and please let me know if the error is still occurred. Thank you.

Andi,

The first 3 columns seem to work and then I get this message on the 4th column.  As I stated earlier, the KeyDown event works if I hit the Enter key twice.  Does that offer any clues?

Thanks,

Conrad

Hi Conrad,

     Yes, forgive me for miss that point. The problem is occured because when we try to access to the next new column, there exists a delay. That is why we need to set time out when we try to access it. Using this code should be solved the issue.

setTimeout(function() { GetRow.GetCells()[position].Select(); }, 200) 

      I hope it helps and please do not hesitate to ask if you have any other questions. Thank you.

Andi,

Your example works as expected.  I've stumbled upon some new information.  When I get the null object error message with my code, it references the previous page, not the page containing the control.  Does this offer any clues to my problem?

Thanks,

Conrad

Andi,

After spending time looking at the documentation for WebGrid on http://support.intersoftpt.com/, I discovered some code to  'Reconfigure the "Enter" key functions on EditMode'.  I was able to add the following section and make it work for Adding also.  I've attached the code for reference.

Thanks for your help!
