How to prevent any keyboard events and their default behavior on element in Angular 6












0















I am trying do prevent any keyboard activity on Angular Mat Header. I want to block keyboard navigation, entering steps using header. I want to use buttons only
How to stop any keyboard activity on that element as preventDefault() does not work.



public ngAfterViewInit(): void {
this.elRef.nativeElement.querySelector('mat-step-
header').addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {

// What should go here?

});
}

  • You could try using a directive directly on the material component, also using event.stopPropagation() should do the trick like this

  • I would like to avoid touching material component as it is part of modules and is used in other places as well.
