Use addEventListener for keyboard action

Hi,   I've to input some textvalue in a textbox using the addEventListner because other options are not working out. var txtbxq =  pgx.contentDocument.getElementById('cxqInput'); txtbxq.addEventL...

    I got that working using the following. This is what I was looking for.

    This was very easy, but the autocomplete feature never suggested any such property. 

    var txtbxq =  pgx.contentDocument.getElementById('cxqInput');
txtbxq.value = ValForPhn;

     I'd still be curious to know what the addEventListener() could have done this such case. 

     

    Thank you!

 Hi Marsha_R , 

 

I tried other functions such as Keys(), and SetText(). it doesn't support these functions. Probably because, I'm accessing the UI object using contentDocument. That's the reason I'm trying to explore other methods using which, I can set a text value in the textbox.

 

Also, I'm doing it in Javascript, so any example that you have other than keyword, please suggest. 

 

Thank you!

    Is there a particular reason you need to use contentDocument for this?

      I didn't want to create an Alias mapping of this object for so many reasons. One of the reasons is, it has so many layers, and TC  tries to map every single object in the path (I know this is how it works, but I'm avoiding that in some cases). Using contentDocument, I can directly access the object using getElementById. Regardless, I'm still hoping I can find a better way to instruct this for an action on this control since getElementById is a native DOM method.

       

      Thank you!
