DevExtreme Angular - Keyboard Support

An end user can use the following keys to interact with the widget.

Key Action
Tab Moves focus to the next toolbar item.
Shift + Tab Moves focus to the previous toolbar item.

You can implement a custom handler for a key using the registerKeyHandler(key, handler) method.

TypeScript
  • import { ..., ViewChild, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
  • import { DxToolbarModule, DxToolbarComponent } from 'devextreme-angular';
  • // ...
  • export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
  • @ViewChild(DxToolbarComponent) toolbar: DxToolbarComponent
  • ngAfterViewInit () {
  • this.toolbar.instance.registerKeyHandler("backspace", function (e) {
  • // The argument "e" contains information on the event
  • });
  • this.toolbar.instance.registerKeyHandler("space", function (e) {
  • // ...
  • });
  • }
  • }
  • @NgModule({
  • imports: [
  • // ...
  • DxToolbarModule
  • ],
  • // ...
  • })
