I have an Accordion Panel whose summary is a search field:
When the content of the search field change, the panel shall be opened and show search result.
It happens that the events in the search field pop-up to the the tab that consequently opens and closes the tab when space or enter keys are pressed. I tried to wrap the summary in a special div that prevents pop-up:
class MyDiv extends Div {
public MyDiv(Component... components) {
super(components);
getElement().executeJs("addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {console.log('pop up prevented'); e.stopPropagation();});");
}
}
...
accordion.add(searchAccordionPanel = new AccordionPanel(new MyDiv(searchField),
searchItemsPage = new MenuItemsPage(this)));
And in fact I see the events intercepted ("pop up prevented" on console) but for some reason the accordion still responds to keypress. I have also tried keyup and keypress events, same result.
Maybe Vaadin transmit another event? Can anybody suggest a solution?
By default TextField is in eager value change mode, i.e. it emits value change after each key stroke. This does not fit in your use case. You can use textField.setValueChangeMode(ValueChangeMode.LAZY) for example. Then TextField will emits value change after user has paused typing. There are also couple of other modes, pick the one that fits the use case the best. Some times it requires trial and error.
I want to trigger a function after the user search something on my navGrid.
I've found the event loadComplete but that doesn't match with my expectations because I also reload my grid programmatically. Then maybe there is something link to the click... if someone has an idea.
Thanks.
There are exist onSearch callback (and jqGridFilterSearch jQuery event). It trigger reloadGrid which finish with loadComplete (and jqGridAfterLoadComplete jQuery event). You can set some custom option of jqGrid inside of onSearch callback (for example, $(this).jqGrid("getGridParam").searchingStarted = true;) and to test its value inside of loadComplete. At the end of loadComplete you should always reset the value of the custom option. In the way you can distinguish reloading of the grid started from Searching Dialog from other reloading.
I've searched the Internet and I cannot find a list of <p:ajax> events. Can anyone provide a complete list of events for the <p:ajax> tag?
I'm particularly interested if there is an onblur event or something similar.
You might want to look at "JavaScript HTML DOM Events" for a general overview of events:
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/dom_obj_event.asp
PrimeFaces is built on jQuery, so here's jQuery's "Events" documentation:
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/form-events/
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/keyboard-events/
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/mouse-events/
http://api.jquery.com/category/events/browser-events/
Below, I've listed some of the more common events, with comments about where they can be used (taken from jQuery documentation).
Mouse Events
(Any HTML element can receive these events.)
click
dblclick
mousedown
mousemove
mouseover
mouseout
mouseup
Keyboard Events
(These events can be attached to any element, but the event is only sent to the element that has the focus. Focusable elements can vary between browsers, but form elements can always get focus so are reasonable candidates for these event types.)
keydown
keypress
keyup
Form Events
blur (In recent browsers, the domain of the event has been extended to include all element types.)
change (This event is limited to <input> elements, <textarea> boxes and <select> elements.)
focus (This event is implicitly applicable to a limited set of elements, such as form elements (<input>, <select>, etc.) and links (<a href>). In recent browser versions, the event can be extended to include all element types by explicitly setting the element's tabindex property. An element can gain focus via keyboard commands, such as the Tab key, or by mouse clicks on the element.)
select (This event is limited to <input type="text"> fields and <textarea> boxes.)
submit (It can only be attached to <form> elements.)
You can search for "Ajax Behavior Events" in PrimeFaces User's Guide, and you will find plenty of them for all supported components. That's also what PrimeFaces lead Optimus Prime suggest to do in this related question at the PrimeFaces forum <p:ajax> event list?
There is no onblur event, that's the HTML attribute name, but there is a blur event. It's just without the "on" prefix like as the HTML attribute name. You can also look at all "on*" attributes of the tag documentation of the component in question to see which are all available, e.g. <p:inputText>.

As the list of possible events is not tied to p:ajax itself but to the component it is used with, you'll have to ask the component for which ajax events it supports.
There are multiple ways to determine the ajax events for a given component:
1) Ask the component in xhtml:
You can output the list directly in xhtml by binding that component to a request scoped variable and printing the eventNames property:
<p:autoComplete binding="#{ac}"></p:autoComplete>
<h:outputText value="#{ac.eventNames}" />
This outputs
[blur, change, valueChange, click, dblclick, focus, keydown, keypress, keyup,
mousedown, mousemove, mouseout, mouseover, mouseup, select, itemSelect,
itemUnselect, query, moreText, clear]
2) Ask the component in java code:
Figure out the component implementation class and invoke its' implementation of javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.getEventNames() method:
import javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase;
public class SomeTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
dumpEvents(new org.primefaces.component.inputtext.InputText());
dumpEvents(new org.primefaces.component.autocomplete.AutoComplete());
dumpEvents(new org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTable());
}
private static void dumpEvents(UIComponentBase comp) {
System.out.println(
comp + ":\n\tdefaultEvent: " + comp.getDefaultEventName() + ";\n\tEvents: " + comp.getEventNames());
}
}
This outputs:
org.primefaces.component.inputtext.InputText#239963d8:
defaultEvent: valueChange;
Events: [blur, change, valueChange, click, dblclick, focus, keydown, keypress, keyup, mousedown, mousemove, mouseout, mouseover, mouseup, select]
org.primefaces.component.autocomplete.AutoComplete#72d818d1:
defaultEvent: valueChange;
Events: [blur, change, valueChange, click, dblclick, focus, keydown, keypress, keyup, mousedown, mousemove, mouseout, mouseover, mouseup, select, itemSelect, itemUnselect, query, moreText, clear]
org.primefaces.component.datatable.DataTable#614ddd49:
defaultEvent: null;
Events: [rowUnselect, colReorder, tap, rowEditInit, toggleSelect, cellEditInit, sort, rowToggle, cellEdit, rowSelectRadio, filter, cellEditCancel, rowSelect, contextMenu, taphold, rowReorder, colResize, rowUnselectCheckbox, rowDblselect, rowEdit, page, rowEditCancel, virtualScroll, rowSelectCheckbox]
3) 'rtfm' ;-)
Best option is to look into the documentation of the particular component in use as hopefully provided by the component developers, not limited to PrimeFaces btw. (p:ajax can be attached to any component providing ajax behaviors).
The advantage over previous suggestions is that the documentation not only provides the event names, but also enhanced description of the event potentially enriched with an event type class that can be caught by a listener.
For example the org.primefaces.event.SelectEvent in case of
<p:ajax event="itemSelect" listener="#{anyBean.onItemSelect}"/>
and listener method signature public void onItemSelect(SelectEvent) provides additional event contextual data.
Where there is no explicit list of ajax events on a compoment in the PrimeFaces documentation, the list of on* javascript callbacks can be used as events by removing the 'on' and using the remainder as an event name. The other answers in this question provides help on these plain dom events too.
Unfortunatelly, Ajax events are poorly documented and I haven't found any comprehensive list. For example, User Guide v. 3.5 lists itemChange event for p:autoComplete, but forgets to mention change event.
If you want to find out which events are supported:
Download and unpack primefaces source jar
Find the JavaScript file, where your component is defined (for example, most form components such as SelectOneMenu are defined in forms.js)
Search for this.cfg.behaviors references
For example, this section is responsible for launching toggleSelect event in SelectCheckboxMenu component:
fireToggleSelectEvent: function(checked) {
if(this.cfg.behaviors) {
var toggleSelectBehavior = this.cfg.behaviors['toggleSelect'];
if(toggleSelectBehavior) {
var ext = {
params: [{name: this.id + '_checked', value: checked}]
}
}
toggleSelectBehavior.call(this, null, ext);
}
},
I've got the list in debug mode;
first I saw the point at which the error was thrown
javax.faces.view.facelets.TagException: /showcase/partial_submit.xhtml
#26,36 Event:changed is not supported.
org.primefaces.component.behavior.ajax.AjaxBehaviorHandler.applyAttachedObject(AjaxBehaviorHandler.java:179)
org.primefaces.component.behavior.ajax.AjaxBehaviorHandler.apply(AjaxBehaviorHandler.java:157)
and then I debugged AjaxBehaviorHandler
so if you want discover the right list of supported event, you can generate an error (using an event name that is wrong), and follow this way
Here's what I found during debug.
I don't understand if anything is wrong in this idea but the Backbone Views just don't trigger keypress, keyup events. I have created a simple shopping list app is JsBin for you to inspect. In the chrome inspector the ul of the view shows the keyup event but it does not occur when i hit some keys in the keyboard. I need the idea to navigate Treeview using the keyboard events
Jsbin
http://jsbin.com/arucom/2/edit
In addition to the question #rkw linked You might want to have a look at this SO question Why audio events are not firing with BackboneJS but others are?
Basically backbone.js uses delegation to bind events, which only works with delegate-able events.
You can bind to the keypress manually in the initializer
initialize: function () {
_.bindAll(this);
$(document).bind('keyup', this.navigate);
},
I have been following this example, http://www.ok-soft-gmbh.com/jqGrid/DependendSelects2.htm, as it is just what I need. I have got it working but it doesnt work when scrolling through records. If you bring up the form and scroll from a UK record to a US record, the list doesnt change. The onChange event only fires when the user selects from the select drop down.
Is there a way around this?
Thanks for your help.

My old demo uses 'change' event handler defined in the dataEvents property of the editoptions. In the dataEvents array one can define other event handlers.
You need just bind keyup to the column exactly like it's described in the answer. In the body of the event handler you can do the same actions as in the body of the 'change' event handler (you can place the code in a function and call it from the both handlers). In the way you should be able to solve the problem.
UPDATED: I updated the old answer and another one which was origin for the demo which you used. The new demo support the navigation buttons (the buttons to edit the 'next' or the 'previous' row) in the editing form.
