Markup grid list column focused

hi,

I am using markup grid list in my roku app, in that list i have 3 columns in each row, i want user to focus only 2 columns i.e 2nd and 3rd column in each row.

The 1st column should not be focused and selected. Is this possible to achieve, if yes i would be very thankful.

Thanks

    Hi,

    This can be achieved by setting an observer to itemFocused.

    m.MarkupGrid.observeField("itemFocused", "BlockFocus")

    Function BlockFocus()
    if m.MarkupGrid.itemFocused mod 3 = 0 or if m.MarkupGrid.itemFocused mod 3 = 1 (This is the edge case to check for all rows-left column)
    jumpToItem = m.MarkupGrid.ItemFocused + 1 (forces it back to previous item)
    end if
    end Function

    I have a similar situation where I want to block the focus on middle item. I have 5 columns in my markupGrid and I want to block focus on 3rd item. 

    'THis works really well right key is pressed but fails when LEFT key is pressed.
    if m.grid.itemFocused mod 5 = 2 then
       m.grid.jumpToItem = m.grid.ItemFocused + 1 
    end if
