What event fires when user uses Alt & numeric key pad to enter text into a textbox - Page 2

Rob Nicholson

In our application, we've added a bit of JavaScript that updates a title as
the user types into a textbox. To trigger this, we patch into the "onkeyup"
and "onpaste" events:

FirstName.Attri butes("onkeyup" ) = "ChangeTitle(); "
FirstName.Attri butes("onpaste" ) = "ChangeTitle(); "

This works a treat but neither of these events fire if the user happens to
enter a foreign character using the standard Windows ALT key plus numberic
keypad, e.g. Alt-0225 generates "á".

Anyone got any idea which, if, any event to handle for this situation?

Thanks, Rob.

Thanks for your followup and the feedback,

Sure, we'll be willing to post our suggestions even if sometimes community
members have provided some general ideas. Anyway, I still think community
and MVP would be the main energy of newsgroup :-)

Thanks again for your posting.

TextBox 'Leave' Event not working

by: Chris Mayers | last post by:

Hi, I have an application that has (for the sake of argument) 2 (MDI) windows open. If I click into a textbox on FormA then the 'Enter' event for that TextBox fires, great! However, if I then click on FormB, then back to FormA although the cursor is still flashing in the same textbox on FormA, when I tab out, the 'Leave' event for that TextBox does not fire. If I stay on FormA and Shift-Tab back into the textbox then the 'Enter' event...

Solution: Raising an Event Handler Postback on Parent Window From Popup Child Window Dialog Box

I did a ton of searching to try and find a simple solution to this issue and finally wrote my own, which I am sharing with everyone. In my searching, I did find a very complete and robust solution at http://weblogs.asp.net/asmith/archive/2003/09/15/27684.aspx but it was far more complex then I needed. (I got lost trying to figure it all out). Therefore, here goes my simple "web dialog box with parent event handler fireing" solution. ...

asp:TextBox - TextChange Event (Enter Key Does Not Work)

by: PD | last post by:

The TextChanged event is not being called when I hit the "Enter" key. Yet it does for the "Tab" key. I set a break point in the Page_Load event and the TextChanged event and none of these get called when I hit the 'Enter' key. After typing in letters in the textbox, if I hit the 'Tab' key or click outside the text box with my mouse, the event fires. Here's the code: <form id="frmArticle" name="frmArticle" method="post" runat="server">

cant figure out what is causes server-side validation

by: AFN | last post by:

I was just dropped into someone else's code (isn't that always so fun?). I can't figure out why a custom validation control's server event function is executing. There is nothing (that I see) in page_load, or elsewhere, that says page.validate, no control says "causesvalidation=true", and the AutoEventWireup is set to false. So I would think that the control's server event function would NOT execute, but it does execute right after...

ObjectDataSource & GridView for variable length input lists

Does this approach sound feasible or are there better alternatives? My problem is that I don't...

Textbox LostFocus event fires after Command Button's OnClick event

WINDOWS FORMS I've a form that has a textbox that allows the user to enter a string. On the LostFocus event, the textbox formats the string into a preferred format.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
