Keyboard Navigation Question

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

How do you navigate in the Report Control with the Tab-keys to edit cells?

When
I press the Tab-key to navigate to a cell, I want automatically to get
into 'Edit' mode. The SelectTextOnEdit is set to True so that the cell
text is highlighted.

As it is now, one need to press Tab-key and
then the key-F2 to switch into Edit mode, do the change, press the
Esc-key and then finally the Tab-key to move to the next cell. This is
just not user-friendly.

I don't want to use the mouse in this cycle at all.

Surely there must be a way to handle this?

TIA.

Best regards,
Nils

	Hi, Its me again. I really need an answer to this question. Is it possible to edit cell after cell by just pressing the tab-key? This should be really simple and is a very basic requirement for editing data, but I cannot find a way of doing it. Forgot to tell that this is v.11.2.2 of the ActiveX ReportControl component TIA. Best regards, Nils
