Atlas KeyboardHandler component

I've put together a little KeyboardHandler component that let's you declaratively handle keyboard events (up/down/press). This should make it easy to for example allow a user to navigate through the details of listview items by using the keyboard. Please look at the working demo or download the source.

You are on a role.
i cant keep up with your pase. i feel slow.
;-)

Let me know what I can do to help you to get up to speed ;).

Hi Wilco,

Nice little component. The keyboard.js code is at the heart of it and you seem to have an excellent grasp of the Atlas javascript library. I can't say I have anywhere near that understanding yet and have enourmous trouble trying to adapt the imperitive to the declaritive. How have you built up your reference material? Is it simply by diving headlong into the provided Atlas javascript libraries?

Paul,

Don't worry :). I was an SDE intern on the ASP.NET this summer and participated in the development of Atlas. I was mostly responsible for drag and drop, the VE map and some other misc. stuff like browser compatibility. Therefore I got to know how most things are supposed to work.

If there is anything I can do to help you adapt to the declarative model, just let me know. Perhaps I could write an post to make things more clear for you. Just give me an idea of what I should cover specifically.

Hi Wilco,

Thanks for the offer. If I had to ask for anything, and this maybe asking a little too much I fear, but I would love to know a majority of the declaritive attributes on the various components, actions and behaviours, and conditions under which each is used.

I realise thats a big ask but even to describe all the attributes for the binding elements and when they apply would be of enormous help. Perhaps address/discuss a delcarative element every week or so, that way it doesn't take up too much of your time.

Thanks again Wilco, and keep those components coming. I am using them as part of the familiarisation and learning process.

Hi Wilco! I've written this thing some time ago and didn't remember/realize you had something that similar. Well, no matter what here's something very close:

I have a little question. (or not a little )) ) Sorry if it will be very stupid, I've heard about ATLAS just today morning. (and was extremly impressed)

Today I learned to add triggers, for example on textbox text propertychange. which works only when the textbox losts focus.

I want to add an event like onKeyDown.

Can your code help to do that?
If so, can you tell me in two words how to do that?
How can I call a server side code, onKeyPress?

Thank you in advance !!!!

How do I incorporate this into a regular .aspx page? Can I add the behavior to an existing <asp: control? This looks very cool, and likely would help me in my project!

Hello,

can you make this working with july CTP ?

Thanks a lot !!!
