Up and Down in table view?

Classic Servoy
1

Hi All,

I just discovered I can’t use up and down arrow buttons on my keyboard to scroll up and down in my table view forms in webclient.
Instead of going up and down a record, the whole page scrolls.
Am I doing something wrong or is it just how webclient works?

Cheers,
Maria

This was a very close second to performance on the list of reasons we moved to slickgrid: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=19250&start=15#p108641.

@Servoy : Would be nice for the Servoy 8 html5 webclient ?

Good to know, David, thanks.
However, we’d like to see this (and other) functionality in Servoy without having to go out there looking for third party solutions.

It is a very nice idea - having the same code base for smart and web client, as advertised by Servoy.
We rely on it greatly now that the smart client performance doesn’t meet the industry standards and we are forced to convert.

Hi Maria,

At ServoyCamp3 it was announced that Servoy 8 (planned for the end of this year) will have a new web client (next to the old one) that will support HTML5 and web components (new upcoming standard) which includes the use of the slickgrid David is talking about. So you will be able to use this in a Servoy supported fashion.
Since I haven’t seen Servoy 8 yet I don’t know how wel this will translate (if at all) to smart client. If you want more info I suggest you ping Servoy about this.

Hope this helps.

You can trap for any key, and call a Servoy method when that key is pressed, using webClientUtils plugin and JQuery. This allows you to trap for arrow keys and go to next record, or previous record, as well as other functions like using keyboard shortcuts to navigate to specific modules in your app. Maybe I will find time to write a tutorial on that someday. :wink:
