TextInput controls will broadcast the FlexEvent.ENTER event when the enter key is pressed to simulate the default button being pressed for a form.
I'd like this same thing to happen on my DateFields. I know that DateField wants to handle the enter key to do its parsing and closing of the "drop down" (inherits from ComboBase for the date picker), which is fine. If it is only handling parsing, though, I would like the control to broadcast the enter event. After looking at what the TextInput does, I overrode the keyDownHandler function in DateField where it handles the ENTER key. At the end of the ENTER key handling scope I added: dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.ENTER)); Everything compiles and it appears to broadcast the event. However, the default button handling does not occur. Any thoughts?
