Overriding ESC key on control
posted
  • ASP.Net Web Forms.

We have the following code in place when a user presses the ESC key we execute a post back to clear our screen:

// capture ENTER and execute Search, ESC and execute Clear.
		$(document).keypress(function (e) {
			if (e.which == "13") { //enter <-- Works
				document.getElementById('MainContent_btnSearch').click();
				return false;
			}
 
			if (e.which == "27") { // escape <-- fails when focus is in an Infragistics control.
				document.getElementById('MainContent_btnClear').click();
				return false;
			}
 
		});

It appears that the Infragistics control also uses the ESC to clear the value from the control.  Is there a way to prevent/override the Infragistics control from eating the ESC key?

The code handling the Enter key works fine in the same scenario.
