DevExtreme jQuery/JS - Keyboard Support

An end user can use the following keys to interact with the widget.

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.

You can implement a custom handler for a key using the registerKeyHandler(key, handler) method.

JavaScript
  • function registerKeyHandlers () {
  • let calendar = $("#calendarContainer").dxCalendar("instance");
  • calendar.registerKeyHandler("backspace", function (e) {
  • // The argument "e" contains information on the event
  • });
  • calendar.registerKeyHandler("space", function (e) {
  • // ...
  • });
  • }
