How to catch ctrl+tab key down

Ok, in the ItemEvent class or pVal we have a CharPressed property, for tab i'm getting a 9 character number but how can I detect if the user is pressing ctrl+tab button, I can't find any property that tells me if the user is presing control. I'm using SBO 2005....

Hi Giuseppe
It sounds like you are looking for the ChooseFromList Object. Look at the SDK sample code <i><b>SAP Business One SDK\Samples\COM UI\VB.NET\17.ChooseFromList</b></i>. In the example they demonstrate using the ChooseFromList with CTRL+TAB as well.
Hope this will help.

Why i am unable to catch the 'TAB' key press?

hi
i have an application where i have 2 text fields and one button in order say t1, t2 and b1.
on tabbing t1 cursor moves to t2 and on tabbing t2 cursor moves to b1 and on tabbing b1 cursor moves to t1.
now when i press tab button on any of the component i have written a keyListener for that to catch 'TAB' key using the comparision
if( e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_TAB )
but its not catching the tab key pressed on any of these 3 components....
why like this...
i want to catch the press of 'TAB' key and write some action for it... but unable to catch the 'TAB' key press.
anyone could help me in this....
thanx in advance,
-Soni

I seem to remember this question being asked before. I think the answer was that the FocusManager intercepts the TAB key. I don't remember the solution but you can try searching the forum.

How to disable the Tab key?

Hi,
Usually，the most end users select partners name or code by the Tab key or pickers, how can I disable Tab key? I want users to select a partner by user-defined values.
Best Regards!

Hi,
We donu2019t have a provision for disable the tab key in B1.
If you are assigning user defined value in any field, magnifying class will be displaying.
You should give a KT to end user that donu2019t use tab key, instead of tab key please click on magnifying class in those filed.
Thanks and Regards,

Catch Ctrl+Tab event

Hi guys,
I have created a UDO and I would like to be able to catch an event when the user presses ctrl+Tab in one of the matrix columns. How can I do this?
Thanks,
Costas

On the KEY_DOWN event you can check for modifiers - something like this:
if (pVal.CharPressed == 9 && pVal.Modifiers == SAPbouiCOM.BoModifiersEnum.mt_CTRL)
Obviously you need to add conditions to check the event is happening on the matrix, and on the column you want.

How to recognize the tab key in a JTextField

I have a drawing program with a main window and a tools palette, which is a JDialog. The tools palette has JToggleButtons and one JTextField. When you have the focus in the JTextField and you press tab repeatedly, it tabs through all the JToggleButtons and then back into the JTextField.
However I would like to recognize the pressing of the tab key and ask for the focus to go back to the main window.
I subclassed the JTextField, added a KeyAdapter, but it does not recognize the tab key. I also added the processKeyBinding method, but it doesn't recognize the tab key either.
How can I recognize the tab key?
Here is a self-contained test program that illustrates the problem:

Wow, Michael, you work like magic! Thanks so much! I would be happy to give you a commercial key to my Ananya Curves program also once the second release is on my website. It's a program for drawing curves in an easier way without pulling on tangent lines, with all control points right on the curve. Just send me an email to [email protected] if you are interested!

How to cycle (ctrl-tab) among zoomed images without changing position?

As I often do, I have several similar images open and zoomed in to a particular position. But when I hit ctrl-tab to cycle among them, the view keeps getting moved to the upper-left corner of each image. This defeats the ability to quickly compare the same part of each image.
Is there any fix for this? I seem to remember solving this in the past, but I can't recall how.
(Using CS3, soon to upgrade to CS4, but need fix in CS3 as well.)
Thanks!

How to stop the "Tab Key" from acting as a "SEND" button in gmail

Since installing the Firefox update today, when I hit the keyboard Tab Key in the course of composing an email on gmail, it sends the (!unfinished!) message. I need to disable this "feature". How?

In the compose window if you hit tab you are tabbing through the buttons on the compose window. You have to hit space in order to sent the message. Please check to see if there is a feature in your gmail that is added to the default. Or see if there is an add on that has saved this feature. You can try safe mode to eliminate the add on theory [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] and reset Firefox if it is a saved application preference.

[Bug?] How to use the Tab key in forms

Ahoy!
The latest release of Photoshop has "broken" the native behavior of the Tab key in html panels. I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a new API I need to incorporate.
Expected behavior:
1. Focus into text field in a form
2. Hit the Tab key
3. The next field is focused.
Actual behavior
1. Focus into text field in a form
2. Hit the Tab key
3. Photoshop hides the application UI (Photoshop hotkey tab behavior).
Anyone happen to know if there's something that can be done about this?

Bug is very annoying for our users when they try to input their usernames and passwords to login (often) and also when they're filling out a large form with four fields in it.
Hope it is fixed soon or a work around provided.

How to catch IE7 tab change event in Java Applet?

My applet have some modeless dialogs, When I start my applet with modeless dialog in tab1, if I swith to tab2, the modeless dialog of tab1 remains open.
So I want to catch the tab change event, and set modeless dialog invisible when tab changes.
Who knows the solutions.... Thanks

To get to the IE7 browser, you'll have to go through JNI if you're using Java to get to a C level interface. You'll have to write the code to interface to it also. IE7 does not have a Java interface, inface, MS has a vested interest in not supporting a Java interface. You'll have to look up the IE7 developers docs to see the OLE interface you'll have to hit.

PUZZLER: How to assign the TAB key to a key command

For the past 11 years I've had the TAB key assigned to "record toggle". But in L8 I can't seem to make this k/command assignment occur... Even when the learn function is activated in the k/commands window, whenever I hit the TAB key to assign it to the currently highlighted key command, it simply changes the focus of the cursor, moving it from the highlighted command to the search field.
Looking for a clue... anyone?

do you remember losing the function keys when tiger came out?
Yeah, I remember losing F14 and F15. They still don't work. But I've since figured out that those keys are reserved for adjusting the brightness on various Apple laptops, and I think also some other models. However, it doesn't apply to someone like, er, um, me who has a desktop-model Mac and a 3rd-party monitor which doesn't have a brightness control that responds to... you guessed it, F14 and F15. So those keys are dead, 'cept for my modifier key variants.
I tried importing my L7 prefs and sure enough, my L7 TAB assignment worked just fine. But I quickly reverted to my saved L8 prefs cuz I didn't want to take a chance of corrupting something or other because of an "illegal" key command assignment.
So I guess it's time to find another key for "record toggle". TAB is going to be an 11 year-old habit that's gonna die hard, I can tell...

How to catch ctrl+x on a textfield?

i've set ctrl-x as a shortcut to end my app but whenever my textfield holds focus, ctrl-x is disabled. how can i enable it? if i implement keylistener, where shld i define it in? keyPressed?

KeyListener should be global throughout the program if CTRL + X is detected. Try programming it into the main contructor class of the java file the has the main() method within it. This way, the key will only be listened for when the JFrame is selected, if you are using a JFrame in the main class.

i dont know about Key BindingsWhich is why you where given a link to the tutorial in the first response.
can you please give me suggestion.You've been given the suggestion 3 times. You can decide to learn to write code the way other Swing components are written. Or, you can do it the old way. The choice is up to you.

ADF 10G : How to disable CTRL + Combination key ?

Dear all,
I developed ADF application using ADF 10.1.3 and have the requirement to prevent user from press the ctrl+ key ( like ctrl + p ) .
Firstly , I used JavaScript to disable this function and it worked on IE and Chrome but not on Firefox.
Actually, it work on firefox only the first time that user press ctrl key but when user press it again without reloading page , it is not worked.
This is JavaScript that I used
function disableCtrlKeyCombination(e)
            var isCtrl;
            if(window.event)
                //IE
                 if(window.event.ctrlKey)
                    isCtrl = true;
                 else
                    isCtrl = false;
            else{
                //firefox
                if(e.ctrlKey)
                     isCtrl = true;
                else
                     isCtrl = false;
            //if ctrl is pressed return false to disable
            if(isCtrl){
               alert('Key CTRL has been disabled.');
               return false;
            return true;
        }and I call this javaScript function with this code.
<af:document title="test" id="document1"
                    onkeydown="disableCtrlKeyCombination(event)"
                    onkeypress="disableCtrlKeyCombination(event)">So, I think there are other way that we can do with this problem or I have to modify coding to support this functionality on FireFox Browser.
Regards,
zenoni

Thank Frank and John,
I tried to follow the instruction that you give me but result still be the same.
I think the problem is not involve with javaScript because I can detect CTRL at the first time but the problem will occur in 2 cases.
1 . It will occurs when user press ctrl button for the second time after we close alert box .
2. when the page still shows alert message and user tried to press ctrl button ( ctrl+n and it worked)
So, I think Firefox have some background process that monitor user input or have some thing .
Regards,
zenoni
