handlekeyboardnavigation: handle delete key / filterrow / focus

[baderaParticipant]

Dear all

I have a jqxGrid in which I like to enable the delete key on keyboard so that I can perform own operations e.g. ask in a dialog, if a row shall be deleted and if yes, delete the row. It works well; however, this handlekeyboardnavigation / keyCode 46 (delete key) is even triggered, if an input field in the filterrow has focus and I press delete there to delete an entered character. [Instead of deleting the character in the filterrow, the popup is opened asking whether to delete the row or not… 🙁 ].

How can I prevent from such behavior?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello badera,

Here is a suggestion – you can use document.activeElement to check if the focused element is an input (in handlekeyboardnavigation). If it is, do not execute your Delete key logic.
