This can be useful when you have business logic that may depend on navigating in the Spread instance.
moveToNextCell: Moves to next cell (default action of Tab).
moveToPreviousCell: Moves to previous cell (default action of Shift + Tab).
selectNextControl: Selects spread.nextControl specified element or auto detected one if not set.
selectPreviousControl: Selects spread.previousControl specified element or auto detected one if not set.
moveToNextCellThenControl: Moves to next cell if the active cell is the last visible cell, then selects next control.
moveToPreviousCellThenControl: Moves to previous cell if the active cell is the first visible cell, then selects previous control.
Set the selected control using the nextControl and previousControl methods. For example:
Spread allows creating custom commands. For example:
Use the register method to set navigation keys and the corresponding actions. For example:
The arguments of register in order are:
name: The name of the command.
execute: The execution function of the command.
key: The unicode for the key.
ctrl: True if the action uses the Ctrl key; otherwise, false.
shift: True if the action uses the Shift key; otherwise, false.
alt: True if the action uses the Alt key; otherwise, false.
meta: True if the action uses the Command key on the Macintosh or the Windows key on Microsoft Windows; otherwise, false.
Use the hideSelection option to hide the selection when Spread loses the focus. For example:
<template>
<div class="sample-tutorial">
<gc-spread-sheets class="sample-spreadsheets" @workbookInitialized="initSpread">
<gc-worksheet />
</gc-spread-sheets>
<div class="options-container">
<p>Change the “Tab for:” field to “Next Control” then click the Spread instance to give it focus.</p>
<p>Hit the Tab key and observe that the focus moves to the “Previous Edit” text box on this page.</p>
<p>You can utilize this functionality to change what specific navigation keys do in Spread.</p>
