Sys.UI.DomEvent shiftKey Field

Gets a Boolean value that indicates the state of the SHIFT key when the associated event occurred.

var shiftKey = domEventVar.shiftKey;

Return Value

true if the SHIFT key was pressed when the event occurred; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Example

The following example shows how to use the shiftKey field to test the state of the SHIFT key when the associated event occurred.

<script type="text/javascript">
    Sys.UI.DomEvent.addHandler($get("Button1"), "click", processEventInfo);

    function processEventInfo(eventElement) {
        var result = '';
        try {
            result += "altKey = " + eventElement.altKey + "<br/>";
            result += "button = " + eventElement.button + "<br/>";
            result += "keyCode = " + eventElement.keyCode + "<br/>";
            result += "clientX = " + eventElement.clientX + "<br/>";
            result += "clientY = " + eventElement.clientY + "<br/>";
            result += "ctrlKey = " + eventElement.ctrlKey + "<br/>";
            result += "offsetX = " + eventElement.offsetX + "<br/>";
            result += "offsetY = " + eventElement.offsetY + "<br/>";
            result += "screenX = " + eventElement.screenX + "<br/>";
            result += "screenY = " + eventElement.screenY + "<br/>";
            result += "shiftKey = " + eventElement.shiftKey + "<br/>";
            result += "target.id = " + eventElement.target.id + "<br/>";
            result += "type = " + eventElement.type + "<br/>";
        }
        catch(e) {
            alert("Error:" + e.message);
        }
        $get('Label2').innerHTML = result;
    }
 </script>
