Spreadsheet Keyboard Navigation
The Spreadsheet component is a container that consists of several logically separated structural elements.
Some of them implement the keyboard navigation specification of other Telerik components:
Each of the above components is part of the page tab sequence and can be navigated to using the Tab key. The list above illustrates the focus sequence. The only exception is the Sheet area which implements its own inner Tab-based navigation.
Upon opening any of the Spreadsheet Dialogs, the focus must move to the Dialog and navigation must be trapped within the Dialog. Upon closing the dialog if a manipulation on the Spreadsheet cell has been performed, focus must move to that cell. If no manipulation has been performed, focus must return to the Tool of the ToolBar that has opened the Dialog.
