Re: [flexcoders] Re: Capturing ENTER key in a Numeric Stepper
Hi Andrew. Can you trap the ENTER (keyCode = 13) on a Numeric Stepper? I've been failing to do this... :( When a user presses the ENTER key, I want to perform an operation, such as a search... So I'm thinking I need to somehow trap the ENTER key and dispatch a custom event. Mmmm... Any ideas?

I would probably have an event handler to deal with ALL keystrokes, and within that have a switch statement. One case of the switch statement would be case '13': var searchValue:int = myNumericStepper.value; doTheSearch(searchValue); break; So when the enter key click is captured, the code goes and looks at the number stepper and sends whatever its current value is to the search function. a --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Nick Middleweek n...@... wrote: Hi Andrew.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Capturing ENTER key in a Numeric Stepper
Andrew - cheers. My problem was that I am working with a custom Numeric Stepper, I had extended the base control it so it could support null entries and to be quite restrictive with the inputs... 0-9, delete key, backspace, etc... I forgot to include ENTER.. doh! :-) After your post, I decided to go back to basics and testing and trace(event.keyCode.toString()) on the keydownHander... Cheers, it's all sorted. I'm now firing out my own FlexEvent.ENTER from my custom numberstepper. nice! :-) On 11 July 2010 15:31, Andrew cottag...@gmail.com wrote: I would probably have an event handler to deal with ALL keystrokes, and within that have a switch statement.
