Using the TAB key (to a dropdown list)

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by jlke-as 130

Hi

 

I would like the user of my app to be able to use the TAB key to jump between the input fields of my app.

However, when you use TAB to get to a dropdown list - nothing happens...

The dropdown list is "selected" - but the list is not unfolded and and the user cannot enter anything until until the dropdown list is activated with the mouse...

 

Is there a solution for this?

    Hi , @jlke-as 

    I test it in my side , the Tab key just can switch the Control in your screen. If you want to select the item in a dropdown control .

    The one method is use the mouse to select manually. 

    The second method you can try to click the "↓" and “↑” then click the “Enter” key to select one of the items.

     

     

    Best Regards,
