Navigating Through Cells
- 2 minutes to read
A tree list is capable of performing focus navigation through data cells, if cell navigation is enabled (the tree list’s OptionsSelection.CellSelect option is active).
To navigate through node data cells, use the following keyboard shortcuts:
Keyboard Shortcut | Result |
|---|---|
Right Arrow Enter Tab | Moves focus one data cell to the right within the current node. |
Left Arrow Shift+Enter Shift+Tab | Moves focus one data cell to the left within the current node. |
Home | Moves focus to the first data cell of the current node. |
End | Moves focus to the last data cell of the current node. |
Up Arrow | Moves focus one node up. |
Down Arrow | Moves focus one node down. |
PgUp | Scrolls focus one page up. |
PgDn | Scrolls focus one page down. |
Ctrl+Home | Moves focus to the first data cell of the first node. |
Ctrl+End | Moves focus to the last data cell of the last node. |
Notes
For the data cells that are beyond the View’s boundaries, the tree list automatically scrolls its content to bring these cells into View. However, there is a special case in which horizontal scrolling is not performed. If the View is split across fixed bands and ordinary bands, in fixed bands the contents are not horizontally scrolled, unlike the ordinary bands.
Navigation with the Enter key is allowed if the tree list’s OptionsBehavior.GoToNextCellOnEnter option is active.
Navigation with the Tab key is allowed if the tree list’s OptionsBehavior.GoToNextCellOnTab option is active.
The Tab key cycles forward from the end of the current node to the beginning of the next node (the Shift+Tab key cycles in the opposite direction) if the tree list’s OptionsBehavior.FocusCellOnCycle option is active.
The Down Arrow key pressed while the last visible node is focused appends a node if the tree list’s OptionsData.Appending option is active.
In the single-column View, the Right Arrow and Left Arrow keys can only be used for node expansion and collapse.
