Keyboard navigation in Flex Datagrid

Question

Hi,

I want to implement an Excel like keyboard (arrow) navigation in an Advanced Datagrid in Flex. The docu at http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=advdatagrid%5F11.html states that arrow keys can be used to navigate around cells. However, in my case that does not work. I can only navigate rows up and down

---snip ---

When focus is on the AdvancedDataGrid control:

* Use the Left, Right, Up, and Down Arrow keys to move between cells.
* Use the Shift+Home and Shift+End keys to move to the first and last column in current row.
* Cells are only selected by default, they are not editable.
* Press the F2 key to make a cell editable.

Any ideas on that?

Thx, Martin

By default you can select an entire row in the advancedDataGrid. You need to change the selection mode to single cell. Then all the arrows will work

 <mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="myADG"
       width="100%"
       height="100%"
       color="0x323232"
       selectionMode="singleCell"
       initialize="gc.refresh();">
