Hi,

I have a table on my form. If the user hits the tab key on the last field of the last row I want to add another row (as this happens in MS-Word tables for example).

My problem is: How do I find out what inititated an exit event on my field? Was it a tab key or did the user click with the mouse someplace else?

I would like to write something like

if (xfa.event.trigger = "TABKEY") { ... }

Hope someone had had the same problem already.

xfa.event.commitKey will return a value based on what was used to exit the field. A 3 means a tab was used a 1 means the mouse was used.

So you coudl write code that looks like this:

var keypressed = xfa.event.commitKey;
if (keypressed == 3){
app.alert("You exited this field by using a Tab")
}
if (keypressed == 1){
app.alert("You exited the field by using the mouse")
}
