GXT 3, editable grid, need to perform action on enter

Question

I am new to GXT 3, and am confused by the API. Perhaps you could clarify.

In Editor Grid, how do I catch and examine keyboard keys pressed inside a cell in focus?

Answer 1

1. Create your grid and pass it to GridEditing instance:

    final GridEditing<MyType> ge = new GridInlineEditing<MyType>(grid);
   

   // note: final Grid grid = new Grid(store, cm);

   // note: ColumnModel cm = new ColumnModel(configs);

   // note: List> configs = new ArrayList>();

2. Construct your ColumnConfig

   ColumnConfig<MyType, String> kanji = new ColumnConfig<MyType, String>(kfgProps.kanji());
   

   // note: kfgProps here extends PropertyAccess

3. Add your editor

   ge.addEditor(kanji, text);
   

   // note: text = new TextField();

4. Add your DomHandler

   text.addDomHandler(new KeyDownHandler() {
   
       @Override public void onKeyDown(KeyDownEvent event) {
   
           if (KeyCodes.KEY_ENTER == event.getNativeEvent().getKeyCode()) {
   
               // do whatever
   
           }
       }
   
   }, KeyDownEvent.getType());
