Get keycode on keypress, keydown or keyup in textfield

Hello,

i am trying to add a check for password-fields if caps-lock is active.

Therefore I want to use my old function "check_capslock(e)". I don't know how to map that function to a textfield. I found various methods to do, but nothing works. I downloaded the newest version of ExtJs today.

Here is my last try. I think "*" will not work, but I want to call that function if ANY character is pressed.

Code:

---

        var map = new Ext.KeyMap(field_password.getId(), {
            key: "*",
            fn: function(e) { checkCapsLock(e); }
        });

---

But even using "key: 'abcd'" does return me the keycode within the "e"-object.

Best regards,
Bjoern

why not just listen to the KEYUP event?/:)

How can I do this and receive the keycode ?

evt.getCharCode()

I tried this, but firebug says "getCharCode" is not a function:

Code:

---

        field_password.on('keyup',function(e,el) {
            alert(e.getCharCode());
        });

---

Look at the docs :)

Event is the second param.

Thanks a lot, it works!

There is NO KEYUP event on the TextField.
This solution does not work.

Even with the undocumented property enableKeyEvents: true
for TextField http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?p=160289

Still the same question:
How to listen on keypressed or keyup events on Ext.form.TextField ??

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
well, I found the solution.
the on method must be called NOT on the Ext.form.TextField object (surprise!)
but on the Ext.form.TextField.getEl() function (?? why is this not documented??)

like this

Code:

---

var inputField = new Ext.form.TextField({});
inputField .getEl().on('keyup',function(el,e) {
 alert("test");
}

---

I have tried those ways to implement the on event method, but they are all not worked. However I found this snippet code worked:

new Ext.form.TextField({
height : 24,
width : 225,
listeners : {
specialkey : function(field, e) {
if (e.getKey() == Ext.EventObject.ENTER) {

Thanks for the solution. Helped me lot. :)
