Get keycode using onkeypress event in Dynamics CRM

Posted on by Mohsin Ali 3,634

In one of field on contact my requirements are to allow the user to enter only digits and if any other key such as alphabetic or special symbol key is pressed it should alert about the invalid key. I tried with this but I cannot find the way to pass pressed key as parameter.

Any idea to achieve this.

    Hi Mohsin,

    You want to use the built in addOnKeyPress methods in CRM - check out the documentation here: msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg334266.aspx

    Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

    Thanks,

     Aiden

    Hi Aiden, Thank you for your response. Actually I can use addOnKeyPress event. Here is my code snippet that I want to prompt the keycode in dynamics crm. For example, I press 2, it should prompt the key code of 2.

    function checkNumber(fieldName) {

       try {

           debugger;

           var nameKeyPressFunction = function () {

               var key = event.keyCode;

               alert(key);

           }

           Xrm.Page.getControl(fieldName).addOnKeyPress(nameKeyPressFunction);

       } catch (e) {

       }

    }

    Hi Mohsin,

    There's no 'event' available as there would be with normal development. You'll need to get the current text from the textbox and then do your logic (you can get the last key by taking a substring if you really need it).

    Check out this example:

    msdn.microsoft.com/.../mt607648.aspx

    Hope this helps! I'd appreciate if you'd mark this as Answering your question.

    Thanks,

     Aiden

    Hi

    The Xrm framework does not provide the raw event object, this information is cut in the call stack by design.

    You can try to obtain the raw event from the global content, but that may change depending on the forms engine enabled due it was enhanced in the 2016 version... accordingly to your code, it may be something like:

    function checkNumber(fieldName) {
   try {
       debugger;
       var nameKeyPressFunction = function (exContent) {
           var e = event || window.event || parent.event;
           var key = e.keyCode;
           console.log(key);
       }
       Xrm.Page.getControl(fieldName).addOnKeyPress(nameKeyPressFunction);
   } catch (e) {
      console.log(e);
   }
}


    Mark as answer if this solves your issue.

    Best regards
