How To Fire An Event When The TAB Key Is Pressed?

I just want to 'catch' when some user press the TAB key in a Textbox. I'm working in a simple CRUD asp.net application, c# as code behind. I try to do this as a test: private void

Solution 1:

TAB key can not be catched by KeyPress or KeyDown. so to achieve your requirement use Leave Event for TextBox.

In Leave Event definition move the focus back to TextBox...

like this...

private void textBox1_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e) {
textBox1.Text="Khan Pressed the TAB"; textBox1.Focus(); }

Solution 2:

$('#textbox').live('keydown', function(e) { 
  var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which; 

  if (keyCode == 9) { 
    e.preventDefault(); 
    // call custom function here
  } 
});

use java script

Solution 3:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#<%= testTextBox.ClientID%>').keydown(function (e) {
       var code = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which);
           if (code == 9) {
             $('#<%= 2ndTextBox.ClientID%>').focus()
                return false;
             }
    });
});

It can be useful for somebody.
