backKey with DataGrid

[Tore Nilsen]

This is a shot in the dark but this may have to do with the fact that once the dataGrid is in focus the template stack for the dataGrid becomes the recipient of your backKey message. Have you tried to add a backKey message to the template stack, and tweaking it to reference the button of the card in the original stack?

Best regards

If I then tap any other control on the screen (not the dataGrid), then the backKey message works again.  This is true even if the dataGrid has no data (ie.:  set the dgData of grp "myDataGrid" to "").
