We had trouble before with having both an item renderer and an item editor for a column (which we need to have that checkbox column), so instead what I tried was simply having only itemrenderers for the controls (and updating the data on change of the itemrenderer controls) This seems to fix the default tab order, but there are still some issues with the tab order, namely:
1. Tabbing through the grid only traverses visible rows - how can a user navigate to scrolled-out rows using the keyboard? 2. Sorting the grid doesn't seem to sort the taborder - the rows are still traversed in the original order. (Strangely, reassigning a headerRenderer after the sorting sets the correct tab order - I found this by accident) 3. Tabbing into the grid from an outside control -> looks like it "remembers" where the grid was last traversed and starts over from there. Is it possible to change it to always enter the grid from the first row? 4. I'm not sure of the behavior exactly, as I couldn't replicate it all the time, but tabbing into the grid after it has been mouse-scrolled seems to cause it to enter at different rows. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sounds like editable!=true, so the DG's tab handling code isn't running. > > > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Stephen Roy J.
