Setting focus on grid

Question

Hi all,

I want to set the focus of the application to the data grid given so that I can navigate through items via arrow keys. The focus can be set using ‘api_component.requestFocus’ , but it’s not possible to navigate through the data grid unless it’s select using the mouse.

Thanks

Hi Suranga,

Please give a name to the component inside the grid that you want to set focus to and use this component's name in the API:

  <grid dataSource="EMPLOYEES1">
    <column headerLabel="LAST_NAME">
      <textField name="lastName" column="LAST_NAME"/>
    </column>
    <column headerLabel="SALARY">
      <textField column="SALARY"/>
    </column>
    <column headerLabel="FIRST_NAME">
      <textField column="FIRST_NAME"/>
    </column>
    <column headerLabel="EMAIL">
      <textField column="EMAIL"/>
    </column>
  </grid>

[/xml]

  api_component.requestFocus('mainPanel.lastName');
