Navigate Seamlessly Between Cells Within Selections

April 26, 2024
Handsontable 14.3 allows experienced grid users to quickly move between specific cells within a selection using keyboard shortcuts.

Handsontable is a JavaScript library designed to help developers build interactive data grids into their web applications. Offering a familiar spreadsheet-like interface, it allows users to edit, sort, and filter data with ease. Highly customizable and compatible with popular frameworks like React and Angular, Handsontable empowers developers to build robust data manipulation features into their web applications.

Handsontable 14.3 adds a new feature to streamline navigation within pre-selected cells. Power users and those accustomed to Tab navigation can now leverage arrow keys or the mouse for selection, then efficiently move between the chosen cells using Tab/Shift+Tab for horizontal movement and Enter/Shift+Enter for vertical movement. Editing remains intuitive, as typing any character initiates editing even within dropdown or date cells.

Handsontable is licensed per developer and is available as an Annual or Perpetual license with 1 year support and maintenance. See our Handsontable licensing page for full details.

Customize Your Workspace with Docking Controls

April 24, 2024
UI suites with docking functionality empower users to personalize their workspace through intuitive drag-and-drop window arrangement.

Docking controls are a user interface element that allows users to organize and customize the layout of an application's windows. These controls typically function by enabling users to drag-and-drop windows or panes to different positions on the screen, or to attach them to the edges of the main application window. This functionality provides several benefits, including increased efficiency by allowing users to arrange windows in a way that suits their workflow, improved organization by keeping relevant windows grouped together, and better screen real estate utilization by enabling users to resize and position windows for optimal viewing.

Several React UI suites feature a docking component including:

  • Infragistics Ignite UI empowers developers with customizable docking layouts for complex and data-rich UIs.
  • jQWidgets offers a docking framework for building user-configurable dashboards with drag-and-drop functionality.
  • Smart HTML Elements facilitates the creation of intuitive UIs with a docking component that promotes flexible window management.
  • SmartClient by Isomorphic Software provides a docking solution that enables users to personalize their workspace layouts.

Easily Adjust Continuous Values in React Apps

April 22, 2024
Trackbar / slider controls offer a space-efficient and intuitive way for users to input numeric or linear data within a predefined range.

Trackbar controls, also known as sliders, are user interface (UI) elements that allow users to adjust a numerical value within a defined range by moving a slider along a bar. These controls are highly valuable for settings that require a visual representation of adjustment, such as volume, brightness, or other application-specific parameters. Trackbars enhance the user experience by providing a simple and effective method to input values, which can be particularly useful for fine-tuning settings without the need for direct numerical input. Their intuitive design promotes ease of use and quick interaction, making them an excellent choice for graphical user interfaces where space is limited and precision is necessary.

Several React components offer Trackbar Data Editors including:

  • DevExtreme React Data Editors (part of DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress) empowers your applications with feature-rich sliders for intuitive input, making data entry easier.
  • KendoReact Data Editors (part of KendoReact by Telerik) elevates the user experience with a customizable slider control, giving users a tailored way to interact with your data.
  • Smart HTML Elements Data Editors (part of Smart HTML Elements) enables you to effortlessly add accessible sliders in horizontal or vertical orientations into your app.
