React Common - Keyboard Support

The DevExtreme UI components enable you to use the keyboard to switch between UI components within a view. The UI component tabbing order is specified by the tabIndex property. When an end-user presses Tab or Shift+Tab, focus is moved to the UI component with a higher or lower tabIndex value respectively.

var buttonOptions = {
    text: 'Click me',
    tabIndex: 0
}
var checkBoxOptions = {
    value: true,
    tabIndex: 1
}
var textBoxOptions = {
    placeholder: 'Input text'
    tabIndex: 2
}

If a UI component is focused, the dx-state-focused css class is applied to the UI component element. You can modify this class to use a custom style for a UI component when it is focused.

Focused UI components can be fully controlled with the keyboard. To learn how to control a certain UI component using the keyboard, refer to the UI component description in the UI Widgets guides.
