Escape key not firing cancel event

[Enrique]

Hello,

I have a problem with kendo grid. When i press the ESC key , the cancel event is never fired.

I try to create keydown event for the grid, but i can't call the method cancel of the grid, the keydown is never fired neither.

I prepared a sample replicating the behavior: http://trykendoui.telerik.com/OvuT/4

How I can handle the cancel event when the user presses the esc key??

Thank you in advance.

Regards

Hello Enrique,

The problem comes from the fact that you have put the bind() method outside the scope of the document.ready. Please check the updated example:

Thanks. I saw your example. 

I continue with the problem, I tried un-commenting the lines that call the cancel method. However, the alert of the "cancel" function is not showing.

What I am missing?

Sorry, I forgot to attach my updated example with the uncommented lines:

Hi Enrique,

The cancel event is fired correctly, here is a short video of my test:

Please keep in mind that the cancel event is fired when the user clicks the "cancel" button (in inline or popup editing mode) or closes the popup window.

I invite you to read my thread carefully to really understand my issue.

I am asking for your help to solve a problem, and I all get so far is a "that is how it works" response. 

My problem is that the ESCAPE KEY (please read the title of my thread) is not firing the cancel event. I need to handle the cancel event with the cancel button (that works ok) and when the user press the escape key. 

I hope you can help me. 

Thank you in advance.

Hello Enrique,

You can use the event argument of the keydown event to detect the keycode of the key pressed and act accordingly. Please check the following example:

Maybe my question is not very clear.

Please see my updated example and the question at line #85.

Hello Enrique,

Then just use the jQuery trigger() method to trigger any event your want - in your case cancel. You can check it out in the jQuery documentation:
