Question

I have created my own DataGridHeader class – by extending the default DataGridHeader.

In the contructor of this class I have added an event listener to listen to column clicks with the cntrl key pressed.

addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);

It appears though that the keyDownHandler is not being called at all….bizarre…it works just fine when I add the same event listener to the DataGrid class but not the DataGridHeader class.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks

Answer 1

DataGridHeader has the following method which you can override:

protected function mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void;

Then you can refer to the MouseEvent documentation to found ctrlKey flag there.

I think this information is enough to solve your problem 🙂
