Capture TAB press

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have a requirement wherein we need to capture <b>TAB</b> button press in an <b>InputField</b>. For example <b>InputField</b> has an Event <b>onEnter</b> for capturing <b>Enter</b> button press. Do we have one for <b>TAB</b> press! Or is there any such event triggered when a User presses <b>TAB</b> in an <b>InputField</b>. The requirement is to do additional processing when a User presses <b>TAB</b> in the <b>InputField</b>.

I appreciate all your help in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

Hence, is it safe to assume that we cannot capture or respond to a TAB button press by an User in an InputField ?

Currently, yes.

Hi All,

Has anyone come across such a requirement! If yes, could you please share your experiences on the same.

I see nowhere in the javadocs where you get focus event notification. Until custom components are implemented in Web Dynpro (which do not exist yet) I can see no way to capture such an event.

Hi Tom,

Is there a way to capture TAB button press in an InputField?

No, there is no server event at any UI element that handles "tabbing away" / focus lost

Hi,

I think there is no such support available from web dynpro.

Hi Ashwani,

Thanks for your reply.

Could you suggest any alternative solution to my requirement! Because, for example in Visual Basic we have a concept of <b>Lost Focus</b> where in if the Cursor moves from a given <b>Text Field</b> that would trigger an Event!

Thaks in advance.
