with regards to the onKeyPress event…
is there a way to know what key was pressed?
basically what im trying to do is like an excel-like table…
if a cell is selected and a key is pressed edit the cell…im avoiding some keys like fkey, enter, shift…etc…basically allow only character key…and also differentiate character key from eneter key…
and is there a way also of detaching an event…presently i have attached an onKeyPress event on my grid…and when it is triggerred the current cell will be opened for editting…but then, when i try to edit the cell by entering values…it seems like the onKeyPress event is triggerred again…it made the onKeyPress event ineffective.,.
thank you in advance…hope you can help…

Sure you receive key code as event parameter
mygrid.attachEvent(“onKeyPress”,function(keycode,ctrl,shift,event_object){
alert(keycode);
return true;
});
>>if a cell is selected and a key is pressed edit the cell…
Basically grid already has such functionality. Just include in your project next js file
codebase/ext/dhtmlxgrid_keymap_excel.js
It will change keymapping to excel like one, which include auto-edit on text typing
>>and is there a way also of detaching an event
Basically you can use
var id = grid.attachEvent(…
…
grid.detachEvent(id); //detach previously attached event
But in your scenario the next logic will be a more simple solution
mygrid.attachEvent(“onKeyPress”,function(keycode,ctrl,shift,event_object){
if (this.editor) return true; // skip any logic if grid in edit mode
…
return true;
});
