Grid KeyPress

[bobbasic2002]

How can I get the selection index of a grid during the KeyPress event, since the EventObject is the only thing being passed to that event?

thanks,
Bob

in Ext 1.1 RC1, add a keypress listener on the grid, then call the GridView's (currently undocumented) findRowIndex() method like so:
grid.on('keypress', function(e) {
console.log('you just pressed a key in row ', grid.getView().findRowIndex(e.getTarget()));
});

Do you know why most listeners have the params (grid, rowIndex, colIndex, e) while a few like

click, contextMenu, dblClick, keyDown, keyPress

only have the EventObject passed in the callback?

Is this just an inconsistency that hasnt been changed due to backward compatibility reasons?

but it'll be a good idea to bring this up in the prerelease builds forum. :)
