I have an event handler for when a drop down inside the grid changes that calls .set("MyField", myValue). Behind the scenes, kendo sets the current cell to the first cell in the grid! I would like the current cell to be preserved so that the grid works for keyboard navigation as well as point-and-click.
Hi,
If the grid has not yet been focused and is focused via calling focus the first cell in the grid does get highlighted. However if a grid cell is clicked, one moves the focus to another control and then back to the grid, the focused cell is restored as you can verify from this demo. I see that the request is quite old and maybe is not relevant anymore. If however implementation details on the exact scenario can be shared we will be able to validate whether the enhancement is valid.
