Hi Adam,
That was a typo. Here's what I have :
public function myKeyDown(event:KeyboardEvent):void {
}
And I have specified the event listener in the DG as
<mx:DataGrid ... keyDown="myKeyDown(event)">
The problem is not with the Event generation. I have put trace and it
seems to call the function when the event occurs. The problem is
detecting the CTRL + <keycombination>.
The keyCode always returns 17 (for CTRL key) and the ctrlKey is TRUE.
What happens to the keyCode of the other key , for Ex: C or c which
would be 67 or 99 ???
Is there any other way of detecting it, which I am not aware or is
this a Flex bug ? It does not work as suggestec in the Flex help docs.
