sap.m.Select does not have 'press' or 'beforeOpen' event.

Feature Request

OpenUI5 version:
1.127.0

https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.m.Select

sap.m.Select does not have event 'press' or 'beforeOpen'.

If possible I would like to have a press or beforeOpen. This is customary for almost all you other controls, therefore I would greatly enjoy also having it on this control.

Hello @lauge21kj98 ,

Thank you for sharing your enhancement proposal. I've created an internal incident DINC0249608. The status of the issue will be updated here in GitHub.

Hello @lauge21kj98 ,

You can attach your functionality to the public picker aggregation like this:

selectInstance.getPicker().attachBeforeOpen(function () {
    ...
})

You can read more about the before open event here:
https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/api/sap.m.Popover#events/beforeOpen

Is this good enough solution for you ?

Yes thank you :)

picker is currently an internal aggregation

openui5/src/sap.m/src/sap/m/Select.js

Lines 399 to 406 in 1993bac

	/**
	* Internal aggregation to hold the inner picker popup.
	*/
	picker: {
	type: "sap.ui.core.PopupInterface",
	multiple: false,
	visibility: "hidden"
	},

Thanks for pointing this out @boghyon.

@plamenivanov91 the mentioned code will cause errors if the application is written in TypeScript. So making this aggregation public would be an possible option

Please further note that the beforeOpen even is not consistent between the two possible implementations of picker, which can either be a sap.m.Dialog (beforeOpen will have no parameters) or a sap.m.Popover (beforeOpen will have an openBy parameter).
