Angular Menu - Keyboard Support
An end user can use the following keys to interact with the UI component.
Key | Action |
---|---|
← | Closes the submenu and focuses on its parent item. |
→ | Opens the submenu of the focused item. |
Home | Sets focus to the first item in the menu/submenu. |
End | Sets focus to the last item in the menu/submenu. |
Space | Switches the focused item to the selected state. |
Enter | Chooses the focused item. |
You can implement a custom handler for a key using the registerKeyHandler(key, handler) method.
App.js
- import React from 'react';
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
- import { Menu } from 'devextreme-react/menu';
- class App extends React.Component {
- constructor(props) {
- super(props);
- this.menuRef = React.createRef();
- }
- render() {
- return (
- <Menu ref={this.menuRef} />
- );
- }
- get menu() {
- return this.menuRef.current.instance;
- }
- componentDidMount() {
- this.menu.registerKeyHandler('backspace', function(e) {
- // The argument "e" contains information on the event
- });
- this.menu.registerKeyHandler('space', function(e) {
- // ...
- });
- }
- }
- export default App;
