How to handle keydown event

[Enrique]

Hello, 

How can I handle the keydown event in a dropdownlist control?

The only thing I could handle so far is the "change" event, but I need to do something when the user press the "enter" key within a dropdownlist EVEN if the value has not changed.

Thank you in advance, 

Regards

Hello Enrique,

The enter key is being intercepted by the widget and returns, as you can see in the following line of the code:

https://github.com/telerik/kendo-ui-core/blob/master/src/kendo.list.js#L873

So if you want to do some logic on enter key, you can include some logic inside or execute your custom function.

I am afraid this is the worse solution for me. :(

Because what happen when I do an upgrade ? I will need to apply this custom line again..
Other issue is I use the kendo.web.min, so, to do the test for this change I will need to use the individual .js libraries.. Then I will need to create a modified kendo.web.min.
This lead me to another question, how I can create the kendo.web.min file again? 

thanks.

That is (by far) a better solution !  Thank you very much. 
I will try to incorporate it to my custom controls. I will re-open if an additional issues occur. 

Good work. Thanks again for your help.
