TextChange Event

Question

Hi All,
I created one small web application to scan barcode with one text box and one list view for our scanning device previously we are using window CE device. In this device i have option to press enter key automatically. But now we are upgrade our device which came with android and there is no option for enter key I try OnTextChanged even with AutoPostBack = true but its not work for me until and i press sum ware in page. basically this event is work like lost focus. i want behave like keypress event
Can any one help me about this

Thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

the OnTextChanged event is a server event. AutoPostBack javascript does a form submit when the textbox loses focus. you will need to implement your own javascript autopostback based on the keypress event.

hint: if you do not know the number of characters from the reader, then just use a watchdog timer. say 100ms since last char typed or field length changed.

Answer 2

Hi @Hiteshkumar Patel ,
Why you don't use keypress event? I suggest you could write a hidden button and then you could press "Enter" key to trigger the event. Just like this:
In this, I use the javascript.
