Hi all,
I'm trying to add into my application some shortcut keys which will popped a small menu box if CTRL space is pressed.
In my EntryPoint I have a VLayout (called layout) that is drawn and is the root Element of my application.
So I have attached a keyDown handler to this...
Now this fires most of the time but I'm having a few issues...
1) On load of the application, key events do not fire until I click somewhere in the page. I'd guessed this is a focus issue but focus() does not seem to resolve the issue.
2) I have a Growl style alerts, which is basically a VLayout positioned in the top right corner. On closing the message, removeFromParent() and destroy() are called. Again this seems to lose focus and I have to click somewhere on page to get key presses working again.
3) There's places in the application where I add a tab to a tabset on the fly and then select that tab, again same thing here, events don't fire until I click on something.
To me it seems like a focus issue, anyone do something similar and have found away around this. I'd assumed its a focus issue, but attaching blur handlers do not seem to fire so suggest that's not the issue.
Any help/advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale

public void setupShortcutKeys() {
layout.addKeyPressHandler(new KeyPressHandler() {
@Override
public void onKeyPress(KeyPressEvent keyPressEvent) {
String pressedKey = keyPressEvent.getKeyName().toLowerCase();
if (EventHandler.ctrlKeyDown() && pressedKey.equals("space")) {
if (HotLinkBar.getInstance().getContext() == HotLinkBar.LocationContext.EditCase) {
MessageUtil.addInfoMessage("Edit Case - Quick Launch");
} else {
MessageUtil.addInfoMessage("Other - Quick Launch");
}
}
}
});
layout.focus();
