You must assign a view controller action to the Button.<i>onAction </i>event.

Thanks for answer Armin.

The code at "onAction" is execute after I make a click with the mouse on the button. So, <b>the fire event is </b>"<b>the click on the button with the mouse</b>", I want the fire event: "the user press the enter at the keyboard" besides the user would be able to make a click with the mouse on the button. I can't insert javascript code at webdynpro to do it...how can I get the result?.

Thanks again.

If the button has keyboard focus, it is also triggered by pressing the ENTER key. If you want to trigger a button that has no keyboard focus, you have to set is as default button of a container.

Exactly! but I see the button properties (layout and code)and has none "keyboard focus" or "default" to set it as default button or make it a keyboard focus button....I'm with NW2004.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,

if you want to set a focus on the button.

write the following in DoModify()

if(FirstTime)

{

IWDButton b=(IWDButton)view.getElement("<ButtonID>");

b.requestFocus();

}

it may help you.

You have to set the following properties at the <b>container</b>:

- defaultButtonID = ID of default button

- isLayoutContainer = false

(If your Web Dynpro version already has them)

Armin:

NWDS 2.0.16 (NW2004) don't have that properties...is only available at NWDS 7.0.07 (NW2004s). I'm working with NWDS 2.0.16 (NW2004), that's why I post it.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Thanks for answer Karthikeyan Ramasamy.

The code don't make permanent the "on focus". Every time I write on the input field the focus is set at this UI and left the button focus...so, the enter key is ignore. The page is not reload until the input is filling up and the button is press.

Thanks.
