You can implement a custom handler for a key using the registerKeyHandler(key, handler) method.
TypeScript
- import { ..., ViewChild, AfterViewInit } from "@angular/core";
- import { DxDateBoxModule, DxDateBoxComponent } from "devextreme-angular";
- // ...
- export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
- @ViewChild(DxDateBoxComponent) dateBox: DxDateBoxComponent
- ngAfterViewInit () {
- this.dateBox.instance.registerKeyHandler("backspace", function (e) {
- // The argument "e" contains information on the event
- });
- this.dateBox.instance.registerKeyHandler("space", function (e) {
- // ...
- });
- }
- }
- @NgModule({
- imports: [
- // ...
- DxDateBoxModule
- ],
- // ...
- })
