Re: Facing some problems after switching to GWT 2.1 from GWT 2.0.4
I too was using KeyPressEvent in 2.0.4 and it was working perfectly but when I upgraded to 2.1.1 it stopped working. Based on Brian Reilly's comment I changed the event to KeyDownHandler and the comparison to event.getNativeKeyCode() == RETURN_KEY and it's back to working again. So even though the workaround worked, I do believe that this is a bug since it used to work in 2.0.4.

However, I just tested in Safari and Firefox (both on Mac) and everything still works. The key, as Dominic mentioned, is to handle KEY_ENTER in a handler for KeyDownEvent instead of KeyPressEvent. Actually, I also just noticed that I'm not using event.getCharCode(). I'm using event.getNativeEvent().getKeyCode(). In fact, looking at the JavaDoc for KeyCode, it says, Contains the native key codes ..., so that gives me some confidence that getting the key code from the native event is the way to go. I suspect that it's the combination of using KeyDownEvent and event.getNativeEvent().getKeyCode(). Character codes are probably more to represent printable characters. While you could consider a new line a printable character, the enter key doesn't translate to a new line in all input contexts. I suspect you're in one of those contexts (if you're trying to add some behavior for it), so it makes sense that you want the native event in this case instead of whatever character it would be interpreted as. -Brian On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 7:57 AM, aditya sanas 007aditya.b...@gmail.comwrote: hi dominic, I m receiving key press event in all the browser the thing that i have noticed which doesn't work in GWT 2.1 is - *if(event.getCharCode()==KeyCodes.KEY_ENTER){ * the o/p of event.getCharCode() in GWT 2.1 is nothing not even 0 so i cnt compare it with KeyCodes.KEY_ENTER i had tried one more new method that has been introduced in GWT 2.1 which getUnicodeCode() which gives 0 whenever i presses ENTER but this is not the right because i m getting 0 even when i m pressing any arrow key. how to figure this out...? -- Aditya On Fri, Dec 3, 2010 at 5:46 PM, dominic jansen dom.jan...@googlemail.comwrote: hi aditya, i ve noticed that there are different behaviours for the KeyPressHandler for each browser (e.g. for me the safari browser did not recognize the keypressevent). maybe you can use the KeyDownHandler or KeyUpHandler instead of the KeyPressHandler. this worked for me best, dom 2010/12/3 Aditya 007aditya.b...@gmail.com: Hi, I have updated my GWT version to 2.1 and faced some of the problems regarding textbox' key press handlers... the code which works completely fine in previous version is txtPassword.addKeyPressHandler(new KeyPressHandler() { @Override public void onKeyPress(KeyPressEvent event) { if(event.getCharCode()==KeyCodes.KEY_ENTER){ // some processing here to send username password to server } // class closures. whenever user presses an ENTER key the code from 'if' condition gets executed but this does nt work in GWT 2.1 is there any other way to perform this validation to know user has striked ENTER or not...?

Re: Facing some problems after switching to GWT 2.1 from GWT 2.0.4
Let me re-state it (once more): there was a bug in versions before 2.1.0, where you couldn't tell whether the user pressed the down arrow or the left parenthesis (or something like that). GWT 2.1 fixes that bug, but then it exposes a more low level behavior where you directly get what the browser gives you; and Firefox has a really odd behavior (not to mention that it's different depending on the platform). I believe it *cannot* be fixed while keeping the KeyDown/KeyPress dychotomy; only a higher-level API (such as what's in Google's Closure Library) could. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Google Web Toolkit group.
