jQuery
JavaScript
function registerKeyHandlers () {
const popup = $("#popupContainer").dxPopup("instance");
popup.registerKeyHandler("backspace", function(e) {
// The argument "e" contains information on the event
});
popup.registerKeyHandler("space", function(e) {
// ...
});
}Angular
TypeScript
import { ..., ViewChild, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
import { DxPopupModule, DxPopupComponent } from 'devextreme-angular';
// ...
export class AppComponent implements AfterViewInit {
@ViewChild(DxPopupComponent, { static: false }) popup: DxPopupComponent;
// Prior to Angular 8
// @ViewChild(DxPopupComponent) popup: DxPopupComponent;
ngAfterViewInit () {
this.popup.instance.registerKeyHandler('backspace', function(e) {
// The argument "e" contains information on the event
});
this.popup.instance.registerKeyHandler('space', function(e) {
// ...
});
}
}
@NgModule({
imports: [
// ...
DxPopupModule
],
// ...
})Vue
<template>
<DxPopup :ref="myPopupRef" />
</template>
<script>
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
import DxPopup from 'devextreme-vue/popup';
const myPopupRef = 'my-popup';
export default {
components: {
DxPopup
},
data() {
return {
myPopupRef
}
},
computed: {
popup: function() {
return this.$refs[myPopupRef].instance;
}
},
mounted: function() {
this.popup.registerKeyHandler('backspace', function(e) {
// The argument "e" contains information on the event
});
this.popup.registerKeyHandler('space', function(e) {

}
}
</script>React
App.js
import React from 'react';
import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
import { Popup } from 'devextreme-react/popup';
class App extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.popupRef = React.createRef();
}
render() {
return (
<Popup ref={this.popupRef} />
);
}
get popup() {
return this.popupRef.current.instance;
}
componentDidMount() {
this.popup.registerKeyHandler('backspace', function(e) {
// The argument "e" contains information on the event
});
this.popup.registerKeyHandler('space', function(e) {
// ...
});
}
}
export default App;Screen Reader Support
The Popup component supports screen readers and complies to WAI-ARIA standards.
The default Popup ARIA role is the non-modal dialog. If you use Popup as a modal, enable the aria-modal attribute as follows:
jQuery
index.js
const popup = $('#popup').dxPopup({
// ...
onShowing: function (e) {
var $overlayContent = $(e.component.content()).parent()
$overlayContent.attr("aria-modal", "true");
},
}).dxPopup('instance');Angular
app.component.html
app.component.ts
<dx-popup ...
(onShowing)="onShowingHandler($event)"
>
</dx-popup>
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
onShowingHandler(e) {
const overlayContent = e.component.content().parentElement;
overlayContent.setAttribute("aria-modal", "true");
}
}Vue
App.vue
<template>
<DxPopup ...
@showing="onShowingHandler"
/>
</template>
<script>
import { DxPopup } from 'devextreme-vue/popup';
export default {
components: {
DxPopup
},
methods: {
onShowingHandler(e) {
const overlayContent = e.component.content().parentElement;
overlayContent.setAttribute("aria-modal", "true");
},
},
};
</script>React
App.js
import React from 'react';
import Popup from 'devextreme-react/popup';
const onShowingHandler = (e) => {
const overlayContent = e.component.content().parentElement;
overlayContent.setAttribute('aria-modal', 'true');
};
const App = () => {
return (
<Popup ...
onShowing={onShowingHandler}
/>
);
};
export default App;You can also use this method to specify aria-label for the component:
jQuery
index.js
const popup = $('#popup').dxPopup({
// ...
onShowing: function (e) {
var $overlayContent = $(e.component.content()).parent()
$overlayContent.attr("aria-label", "Dialog window");
},
}).dxPopup('instance');Angular
app.component.html
app.component.ts
<dx-popup ...
(onShowing)="onShowingHandler($event)"
>
</dx-popup>
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
onShowingHandler(e) {
const overlayContent = e.component.content().parentElement;
overlayContent.setAttribute("aria-label", "Dialog window");
}
}Vue
App.vue
<template>
<DxPopup ...
@showing="onShowingHandler"
/>
</template>
<script>
import { DxPopup } from 'devextreme-vue/popup';
export default {
components: {
DxPopup
},
methods: {
onShowingHandler(e) {
const overlayContent = e.component.content().parentElement;
overlayContent.setAttribute("aria-label", "Dialog window");
},
},
};
</script>React
App.js
import React from 'react';
import Popup from 'devextreme-react/popup';
const onShowingHandler = (e) => {
const overlayContent = e.component.content().parentElement;
overlayContent.setAttribute("aria-label", "Dialog window");
};
const App = () => {
return (
<Popup ...
onShowing={onShowingHandler}
/>
);
};
export default App;Feedback
