B4J Question Textfield and keyPress

[Fabrice La]

Is it possible to use keypress in textfield ?

If yes how ?

 

[Erel]

What do you want to intercept?

The Action event will be raised when the user presses on the Enter key.

 

[Fabrice La]

I need the key type :

back
enter
delete
space

 

[Erel]

You can use the TextChanged event and compare between the old and the new strings.

Ok find it.

But how to detecte "Enter" in textField_Action

 

[Erel]

This event will be raised when the user presses on the Enter button.

 

[Fabrice La]

This event raise only when Enter is pressed ? No other event will raise for action?

 

[Erel]

Oracle documentation says:

The action handler is normally called when the user types the ENTER key.

Doesn't seem like that. The event "txtfield_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)" is raised as soon as the text has been changed, without the ENTER key to be pressed. This is nasty since when I want to enter a two-digit number (or larger) the event fires with the first digit. Therefore, I have to take care of this by

txtfield_TextChanged (Old As String, New As String)
If New<10 Then Return

.

 

[Erel]

You should handle the Action event instead.

Thank you.
But how do I get the entered value? Somehow combining with _textchanged?

When the action is fired the text in the textfield is [textfield name].text
