Intercept PRINT action (CTRL + P) to replace it by our own logic

[Frederic FOURGEOT]

Is there a way to intercept actions on KEYDOWN (CTRL + P in particular, but also CTRL + S) to replace them with our own logic. For example, we would like to be able to show a PDF created by us when the user uses CTRL + P or resquests the printing of the data grid.

Best regards

Hi Fredreic,

Greetings from Syncfusion support.

We suggest you to use the below Javascript code to prevent the print action and after that you can customize the solution as per your requirement either in Javascript code or by using event callback function. Kindly check the attached code snippet and sample for your reference.

window.addEventListener('keydown', function (event) {

    if (event.keyCode === 80 && (event.ctrlKey || event.metaKey) && !event.altKey && (!event.shiftKey || window.chrome || window.opera)) {

        event.preventDefault();

        if (event.stopImmediatePropagation) {

            event.stopImmediatePropagation();

        } else {

            event.stopPropagation();

        }

        this.alert("Now display the pdf")

        return;

      

    }

 

}, true);
