How do I get an onkeypress event for TextArea?

[tomasz.andres]

Hey guys, how would one fire an onkeypress event for a TextArea?

I noticed that this event does not exist and the only data change event only triggers once you click off the text field.
This is a critical thing as I'd like to update the state of a form dynamically.

I look forward to your help, thanks!

Hi Tomasz,

Yes, it's easy in Servoy!

Use the SvyKeyListener plugin.

1. Design-time: add the attribute to your text area (or any component)
2. On Show: Use the plugin to register your callback handler
3. Receive the text in your callback method.

Best,
Sean
