Remarks

The EnterKeyDirection property specifies where focus moves after a user presses Enter or Shift+Enter to close the in-place editor.

If the editor is on the last row and GridEnterKeyDirection is Column, Enter will keep the focus on the current cell.

<DxGrid @ref="Grid"
        Data="DataSource"
        KeyFieldName="EmployeeId"
        EditMode="GridEditMode.EditCell"
        EnterKeyDirection="GridEnterKeyDirection.Column">
    <Columns>
        *@* ... *@
    </Columns>
</DxGrid>

Run Demo: Edit Cell

User Input Validation

In EditCell mode, the Grid component validates cell values once the edited row loses focus. Validation behavior on Enter / Shift+Enter depends on the EnterKeyDirection value:

• Column: Validation occurs immediately when you press the key.
• Row: Validation occurs after you edit the last cell in the row and press the key. The component prevents users from editing another row until they address all validation errors.
