Cool! The combination of onkeyup/onkeydown/onkeypress works great as Benjmin mentioned above.

So Bijoy should update the blog then. :-)

Thanks for your guys help!

var isShift = false; function edit1_onkeypress() { gadget.debug.trace("key=="+event.keyCode); if (event.keyCode === 9) { if (isShift) { edit3.focus(); } else { edit2.focus(); } event.returnValue = false; } }

function edit1_onkeydown() { if (event.keyCode === 16) { gadget.debug.trace("shift key down"); isShift = true; event.returnValue = false; } }

function edit1_onkeyup() { if (event.keyCode === 16) { gadget.debug.trace("shift key up"); isShift = false; event.returnValue = false; } }

You should use onkeyup and onkeydown instead of keypress. When you see shift in the onkeydown event you set isShift to true, onkeyup you set it to isShift to false. When you see tab in the onkeydown or onkeyup function you can then jump backwards.

It seems SHIFT+TAB will not work then.

One thing I found is CTRL+TAB will insert an TAB in the Edit but seems will not trigger the keyPress() event.

Please advise.

Thanks,

POP

As you said, Shift and Ctrl keys are not applicable for edit areas. Check out my blog post for a quick reference:

However, Shift + 'any alphabetic key' does return the keyCode for the capitalized alphabet in edit areas.

It seems in the Edit component, the SHIFT key is never captured by KeyPressed event. I am wondering if there is an attribute in event to reflect that SHIFT is pressed but I can not find it.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Pop

Shift is triggered like any other key. You would have to save the shift state yourself. Seehttp:// code.google.com/p/desktopgadgets/source/browse/trunk/TetrisGad... for a list of keycodes.

Is it possible to capture SHIFT in edit's keyPress() event?

It seems I can only have event.keyCode.

I would like to capture "SHIFT+TAB"

Thanks,

Pop
