handlekeyboardnavigation when grid is not in focus

[cdayParticipant]

This blog post talks about handling keys in jqxGrid. Specifically it says,

That can be achieved by using the Grid’s “handlekeyboardnavigation” callback function which is called when the user presses a key when the widget is on focus.

The problem I’m having is that when I click another item on the page to give the new item focus, it seems the keyboard navigation handler is still being called. Specifically I’m clicking in a “search” input box that is outside of the div defined for this jqxGrid… unfortunately when I’m typing in the search box my handler for the jqxGrid is still being called. Any ideas what might be going on here?

thanks,
Craig

Hello Craig,

This is indeed the behaviour of this functionality. However, this can be overcome by adding an extra check in the callback function as shown in the following example: http://www.jqwidgets.com/community/topic/turn-off-type-to-edit-feature/#post-83219. Please note the line:
if ((event.target.id === 'jqxgrid' || $("#jqxgrid").has($(event.target)).length > 0) && editMode === false)

Best Regards,
