    To create and Build PCF controls we need to perform multiple steps:
     
    1. You need to run this command to setup the PCF Control:
    pac pcf init --namespace <namespace> --name <controlname> --template field --run-npm-install
     
    2. After execution multiple files will get created and you need to use index.ts file. Try adding below code:
     
     
    import { IInputs, IOutputs } from "./generated/ManifestTypes";

export class CustomTextboxControl implements ComponentFramework.StandardControl<IInputs, IOutputs> {

    private _inputElement: HTMLInputElement;

    constructor(private context: ComponentFramework.Context<IInputs>, private notifyOutputChanged: () => void, private container: HTMLDivElement) {
        // Create and append input element to the container
        this._inputElement = document.createElement("input");
        this._inputElement.setAttribute("type", "text");
        this.container.appendChild(this._inputElement);

        // Add keypress event listener
        this._inputElement.addEventListener('keypress', this.handleKeyPress.bind(this));
    }

    public init(): void {
        // Initialize your control
    }

    public updateView(context: ComponentFramework.Context<IInputs>): void {
        // Update your control view
    }

    public getOutputs(): IOutputs {
        // Return outputs
        return {};
    }

    public destroy(): void {
        // Cleanup code
        this._inputElement.removeEventListener('keypress', this.handleKeyPress.bind(this));
    }

    private handleKeyPress(event: KeyboardEvent): void {
      
        alert("test");
    }
}
     
     
    3. Once done you need upload this control dynamic CRM for this please refer below link:

    Hi,
     
    You can get the HTML element for a specific input field. Then add the KeyPress event to this element.
    The code is shown below.
     
    function onload(){
        // Gets the specific input field HTML element.
        let first_name = window.top.document.querySelector("input[aria-label='First Name']");
     
        //Determines if this HTML element is null.
        if(first_name){
           
            //Adds the KeyPress event to the input text field.
            first_name.addEventListener("keypress",(e)=>{
     
                alert(e.code)
            })
        }else{
     
        //If null, refetch every 10 milliseconds until not null.
            setTimeout(onload,10);
        }
    }
     
    When I press the A key in the input text field, it displays a dialog box with the value of the key code.

    Hi,
     
    addOnKeypress is a Deprecated Client API. The recommended replacement is a custom control created using Power Apps component framework.
     
    Deprecated Client API Replacement Client API
    addOnKeyPress Use a custom control created using Power Apps component framework
    fireOnKeyPress Use a custom control created using Power Apps component framework
    removeOnKeyPress Use a custom control created using Power Apps component framework
