Keyboard and arrow track in dataview control

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

Hi,
I was looking at the documentation but didn’t see anything about the ability to capture when someone do a keyboard key while a dataview item is selected. I would like to be able to have 2 workflows, ability to use up/down arrow to change selection and ability to click a letter and the view automatically go to the item that first letter start with this letter. Any way we can do that today?

thanks!

Unfortunately such keyboard navigation is not supported in dhtmlxDataView.

You can create a global keypress handler for the page, and on pressing the alpha-numeric key, call the API of the dataview to find and select some related item.
