inplaceInput in extendedDataTable - problem with "Ä…"

[afrontczak]

Hi,
I have encountered a strange problem with implementing inplaceInput in extendedDataTable. Almost all seems to work fine except entering polish national letter - "ą" or "Ą". It looks like another javascript event overrides key combination "right alt" + A. Any other characters typed from keybord work well including other polish national characters e.g. "ężźć". But when I try to input ą from keyboard, there is no response in inplaceinput - no character appeared.
I tried on richfaces demo, where inplaceinput is not put into extendedDataTable, and all characters including Ä… work fine.
I work on Richfaces 3.3.0.

greetings,
Aleksander

Forum don't like polish characters too and converted it into other ones :)
unicode for problematic character is: \u0105

As a matter of fact, this component is developed and contributed to RichFaces by Poland company. So, this case sounds curious for me.

as I wrote, inplaceinput without extendeddatatable works fine with all characters, the problem is with inplaceinput inside extendeddatatable

[afrontczak]

does somebody know why putting control into extendedDataTable locks working of keybord event: ALT+A?

Sorry.. As for me after I added polish language Alt-A works the same for simple input and for inplace in table. just nothing appeared after pressed.

RIGHT ALT + A - works on inplaceinput demo in richfaces demo site

[ilya_shaikovsky]

I have read about right ALT + A. But for me it not works in any way.. And I'm looking why.. just updated the thread in order you to know that we care about it :)

Hi, even if I try to use the TLT+A hotkey here in this forum input fields — nothing happens... In inplace input or any other input field i see the same. May be we don't understand somthing...

[afrontczak]

the problem is connected with selecting datatable rows on Ctrl+A keyborad event when selectionMode<>none; turning selectionMode of the datatable to none enabled using [RIGHT ALT]+A

Hi,

The problem reason and the solution found :)

The problem reason:
The problem event.ctrlKey = true for: [RIGHT ALT] + [NORMAL CHAR]

Test:
Lets test settings of flags: event.ctrlKey and event.altKey in following cases:
- [CTRL] + [NORMAL CHAR] - event.ctrlKey=true; event.altKey=false;
- [LEFT ALT] + [NORMAL CHAR] - event.ctrlKey=false; event.altKey=true;
- [RIGHT ALT] + [NORMAL CHAR] - event.ctrlKey=true; event.altKey=true;

Problem location:
file: extended-data-table.js
function: processKeyDown: function(event)
function part: case 65: case 97: //Ctrl-A
line nr: 1383
line contants: if (this.inFocus && event.ctrlKey){

Solution:
the line 1383 should be:
if (this.inFocus && event.ctrlKey && !event.altKey) {

Aleksander
