Hi Gabor,

Indeed you are right, so far there is no parameter that can be used to distinguish if the Escape key is pressed or the X close icon in the title bar is clicked.

What could be done in the meantime is to prevent close action using the preventAction callback:

preventAction:(args)=>{
    if(args instanceof DialogCloseResult){
         return true
     }
},

and use a custom component for the Dialog content. Thus the Dialog can still be closed by handling the respective button click events. Here is an example where the Escape key doesn't close the Dialog while all other options remain unchanged:

As of R2 2023, the default icon type will be SVG instead of Font. See this blogpost for more information.

4 years later we also find ourselves in need of this feature. Our use-case features a custom drag & drop solution inside the dialog. We want the drag & drop to be cancellable by pressing Esc, without the dialog closing. Calling preventDefault on the event from inside has no effect on the dialog's behaviour, and the current DialogSettings.preventAction callback does not differentiate between the X (close) button and Esc button press. Moreover the original event that triggers the dialog's action is not included in the callback's parameters, so we can't handle it there.

Hello Joseph,


Thank you for sharing this with us. We are looking to provide the functionality out of the box in the upcoming weeks.

I finally managed to implement this behavior by using 

 event.stopPropagation();

 

So if the focus is on an element inside the modal (textbox) this prohibits closing the modal.

Hello again,

Since I use the DialogService this 

  doCloseOnEscapeKey

option might become part of the DialogSettings interface.

    open(options: DialogSettings): DialogRef;

Thank you very much.

Your components are awesome!!

 

Kind Regards,

Josef

Hello Dimiter,

 

Thank you for your reply.

I understand that this might not be a high priority issue. Nevertheless it might be easy and not time-consuming to implement.

 

I am looking forward to an Angular-Component-Input to deactivate this "doCloseOnEscapeKey" functionality.

 

Kind regards,

Josef

Hello Josef,

Thank you for sharing your suggestion.

Currently preventing the Dialog from closing when the Escape key is pressed is not supported. However, we also believe that providing our customers with the ability to prevent Dialog closing when the end user presses Escape will be a nice enhancement, and we are considering adding it in a future version of the Dialog package.

We will track the customer demand for this functionality in this thread, and prioritize accordingly when updating our roadmap.

On a side note, please open Support tickets for specific questions and issues, related to usage of our components, and their configuration.

Regards,
