An interesting question has come up on one of our products, and I'd be interested to hear if anyone has (a) come across this before, (b) got any references offering advice, or (c) just has a idea.
We have a grid - hosted within a dialog that contains other controls - in which the tab key moves the focus along the row to allow data entry. When you get to the end of a row, hitting tab creates a new row in the grid. This interaction is already very well understood by our users and extensively used for fast data entry. The question has arisen though - how to get the focus out of the grid so that you can access the other controls? Should we just rely on access keys to enable that? Obviously tab will just continue to move through the grid infinitely (more or less) ,creating new rows all the time. Cheers, Chris. ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)! To post to this list .......
