Grid - FilterMenu prevent keydown close filter menu

[Terry]

Hello,

Im trying to create a way to filter the set of available checkboxes in my filter menu. I have created a dropdown list which specifies the operator and a input field which allows the user to enter a value. The filtering part works however I would like to provide a way to filter the checkboxes when the user presses enter in the input field.

The keyup event on the input field seems to close the filter menu automatically. I have tried to search in the kend.ui.filtermenu.fn._keydown events but no luck there.

You can see the behaviour in: http://dojo.telerik.com/IPAgo

Is there a way I could overwrite the keyup event and prevent the filter menu from closing?

It seems like its bind to the k-textbox class because if i remove the class from the textbox it's working as intended.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Terry,

The popup will not be closed by the filter menu itself but by the submit handler:

e.container.find("[type='submit']").click(function (e) {
    ...
    popup.close();
});

You can bind a keydown handler to the input that prevents the default action on enter in order to prevent submitting the form:

inputFilter.keydown(function (e) {
    if (e.keyCode == 13) {
        e.preventDefault();
    }
});
