Angular Calendar - Keyboard Support
An end user can use the following keys to interact with the UI component.
Key | Action |
---|---|
← → ↑ ↓ | Moves focus to the day nearby. |
Page Up or Ctrl + ← | Displays the previous month. |
Page Down or Ctrl + → | Displays the next month. |
Enter | Selects the focused day. |
Ctrl + ↑ | Increases zoomLevel. |
Ctrl + ↓ | Decreases zoomLevel. |
Home | Moves focus to the first date in the view. |
End | Moves focus to the last date in the view. |
You can implement a custom handler for a key using the registerKeyHandler(key, handler) method.
TypeScript
- import { ..., ViewChild, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
- import { DxCalendarModule, DxCalendarComponent } from 'devextreme-angular';
- // ...
- export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
- @ViewChild(DxCalendarComponent, { static: false }) calendar: DxCalendarComponent;
- // Prior to Angular 8
- // @ViewChild(DxCalendarComponent) calendar: DxCalendarComponent;
- ngAfterViewInit () {
- this.calendar.instance.registerKeyHandler('backspace', function(e) {
- // The argument "e" contains information on the event
- });
- this.calendar.instance.registerKeyHandler('space', function(e) {
- // ...
- });
- }
- }
- @NgModule({
- imports: [
- // ...
- DxCalendarModule
- ],
- // ...
- })
