Summary

In PRPC 6.2 SP1, the control behavior within a layout only provides three options:
OnClick, OnBlur, OnChange.

How can an event be configured to refresh the section and call a particular activity on press of the enter key?

Resolution

This issue is resolved through the following local change:

You can implement a hidden button.  When Enter is pressed then the action associated with the button would be performed.  This may need your needs.  The following approach can be used with a SEARCH button.  Note that your section is likely to be different.


To use the Enter key to execute a button functionality, do the following steps:

- Open the section and Save As with another name to keep all the current UI.
- In the original section:
o Remove all the layouts
o Add a new section layout with the created one
o Remove the flag Auto-generated html in the HTML tab.
o Include the following code:

<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
function checkSubmit(e)
{
if(e && e.keyCode == 13)
{
document.getElementById('thebutton').click();
}
}
</SCRIPT>

<div onKeyPress="return checkSubmit(event)">


<button type='button' id='thebutton' style="visibility:hidden" class='MacifRechercher pzhc' data-ctl data-click='[["refresh", ["otherSection","RechercherPersonne", "LancerRecherchePersonne", "&=", "", "",":event"]]]' ><div class='pzbtn-lft' ><div class='pzbtn-rgt'><div class='pzbtn-mid' data-click='...'><img class='pzbtn-i'/> Rechercher</div></div></div></button>

-------------------- auto generated html --------------

</div>

Using 'view source' of the html you can find the code of the button that you want to execute.
Then copy and include it, adding the ID be detected by the javascript function, and set the style to 'style="visibility:hidden"' so it's hidden.
