RadDatePicker DateInput-ClientEvents-OnKeyPress Not Firing For Enter Key (keycode 13)

[Brian]

Hello,

I would like to handle the OnKeyPress event to put focus on the next input control on the form when the enter key is pressed.  I have this working for textboxes and comboboxes, and can focus the dateinput in the datepicker, but the enter key is not firing the OnKeyPress client event for the datepicker's dateinput control.  The first debugger statement is hit when I enter a normal text key (e.g. '1', 'a'), but when hitting the enter key, nothing happens (the keyPressed_textbox function is never executed).  Any ideas why the enter key is not firing the event?

                                <telerik:RadDatePicker
                                    DateInput-ClientEvents-OnKeyPress="keyPressed_textbox"
                                    TabIndex="5"
                                    runat="server"
                                    ID="datepickerDob"
                                    Width="180px"
                                    MinDate="1/1/1900"
                                    CssClass="body_copy" />

            function keyPressed_textbox(sender, args) {
                debugger;
                if ( 13 == args.get_keyCode() ) {

                    /* never gets here for RadDatePicker's DateInput OnKeyPress event */
                }
            }

edit: I have a similar problem with RadComboBoxes that have MarkFirstMatch set to true - the enter key does not fire the OnClientKeyPressing event, but the event is fired when MarkFirstMatch is set to false.  Is there anything I can do about this?

Hello Brian,

You could try to attach the KeyUp/KeyDown event instead:

<telerik:RadDatePicker
   TabIndex="5"
   runat="server"
   ID="datepickerDob"
   Width="180px"
   onkeydown="keyDown(this, event)"
   MinDate="1/1/1900"
   CssClass="body_copy" />

<script type="text/javascript">
    function keyDown(sender, e)
    {
        e = e || window.event;
        if (e.keyCode == 13)
            //do something
    }
</script>

Let me know whether this helps.

Using the key up event solved my issue with the RadDatePicker.  However, I still have an issue with RadComboxBox - when MarkFirstMatch = true and I have typed text into the RadComboBox or I have selected and item from the drop down list, I cannot focus another control from the key pressed or key up events.  I cannot blur the RadComboBox, either.  But, as I said, if MarkFirstMatch is false or there is no text in the RadComboBox, I can focus another control from these events.
