Arrow keys and the datagrid...
|
|
| Bob Morvay 2005-04-28, 9:01 pm |
| My users want to be able to use the Web Datagrid like an excel spreadsheet.
This means a fully editible grid with arrow key navigation between cells.
The grid seems to support horizontal tabbing between cells but nothing for
the arrow keys. I have googled for sample code but the best that I could
find was some half completed javascript that captures the key events but
doesn't quite show me how to use it in the grid. I was wondering if anyone
has any example code where an editable grid could be navigated from cell to
cell using the arrow keys (Left, Right, Up and Down).
Thanks in advance.

| You'd have to do a lot of javascript for that. I'm curious, why don't you
just use a bonafide excel object - the Microsoft Office Web Components is a
good alternative for just such an application.

| Two reasons... It is an existing ASP.Net application and I have never used
the Microsoft Office Web Component :) Where can I learn more about the
Excel object as it can be used in a web components?

| The Office Web Components are easy to program against. You can find the free
download on the Microsoft office website. The help files are enough to get
you started. The newsgroup is office.developer.web.components and msdn lists
a number of articles. The current book on the components is available at
www.lulu.com/owc or on amazon.
hope this helps
