Capture key press in web drop down
posted

Hi,

I have my web drop down configured for auto filtering on the client, and I want to trap when the user presses the enter key and force the drop down to close when this happens.

My first thought was doing so with this script:

 

function wdd_ValueChanging(sender, eventArgs) {

    window.status = eventArgs.get_browserEvent().keyCode;

    if (eventArgs.get_browserEvent().keyCode == 13) {

        sender.closeDropDown();

    }

}

tied to the 'ValueChanging' client side event property of the web drop down.
The status bar will display all of the values for what I am typing except for the enter key, so something else is capturing when the enter key is tapped.
Is there a different way to get the drop down to close when the user presses the enter key?
