How to make the enter key act as a button?

I have a CREATE and UPDATE button and I would like the user just to be able to press enter and perform the create or update as appropriate as if the button was pressed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Greg

Greg,
Use the following so you don't loose the delete message:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
   htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
   document.onkeypress = keyHandler;
   function keyHandler(e) {
      var keycode;
      var id = $v('PXX_ID');
      if(window.event){keycode = window.event.keyCode;
      }else if(e){keycode = e.which;
      }else{return true;}
      if (keycode == 13){
         if (id) {
            doSubmit('UPDATE');
         } else {
            doSubmit('INSERT');
         return false;
      }else{
         return true;
//]]>
</script>What is the name of your primary key item?
Are you getting any JavaScript errors?
Did anything happen?

Dan

How to make the Enter key close a JDialog?

I have a dialog box which extends JDialog. I have several buttons and other components, but I would like to make the OK button the one which reacts when the user presses Enter. Are there any specific methods to get this behaviour?

dialog.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(okButton);

I'm using LR 5.6. The Enter key should increase the exposure but it increases Contrast instead. How can I make the Enter key adjust the exposure?

Hello
As explained in the heading, I'm using LR 5.6 on a PC (Win 7). The Enter key should increase the exposure but it increases Contrast instead. How can I make the Enter key adjust the exposure, as it should? I have reset the settings to Default in the Develop module but to no avail. Please help! Thanks.
Kind Regards
Farrukh Hyder

I am not aware that the ENTER key should increase exposure, and it certainly does not increase exposure (or any other slider) on my Lightroom 5.6 (Windows 7)
If you click on the word Exposure, then the + and - keys increases or decrease exposure by 0.1 or -0.1

Hi...
I am information technology student. I am now first
year second semester
I need help because I don't know how to catch the
enter key in JTextField.it can be done easily by adding an actionListener to the JTextField. So when u enter something in the field and press enter the event will be caught and the code which u write in that will get executed.
Eg:
JTextField.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Your code comes here.
Another thing is
"How to add a JMenuItem into a JMenuItem...."
I want to do like this.... When you click the "Tools
bar" in View item.. another menu comes out...???"I think you are gettin confused with JMenu and JMenuItem. What u need to do is create a JMenu add another JMenu to it and add JMenuItems to it.. and ur problem will be solved.

HOW to simulate the enter key???

Hi , I have a jTable ,and i want that by leaving a specific
cell ,to perform the same action that the enter key does!
when im leaving my specific cell the following function is being called:
public void editingStopped(ChangeEvent e) {
//here I want to simulate the enter-key's action
HOW to simulate the enter key???
10x in advance
Nir.
p.s. My initial problem was that when i left my specific
cell (the cell is editable combo box), an edited words
which were written by me vanished , and when i get back to that cell the edited word showed again!!!
when i pressed the enter key the edited word were stable in the cell!!!
when I chose a word from the combo evrything was ok!!
so if any one can solve me that problem ill be appreciate.
thanks Nir

yourActionListener.actionPerformed(new ActionEvent(yourCell))
I am not sure about the constructor of actionevent.
you could try if setText(getText()) produces a good result

How to make the "place"key active??

If I want to open an image from a map, the "place" key appears not te be active...how come???

"Map" is probably "folder" or "directory"?
But we need a bit more detail. You know you cannot use "open" to place an image? And that you can only place them (which is what other software calls "Import") inside a document, not "open as new document"?

How to fix the enter key not opening sites in the URL box?

Ever since the update to 10.0.1 pressing enter to open a site in the URL entry box doesn't work. Anyone know why? I have to click the arrow key to the side of the URL pannel, and enter key works as normally everywhere.
It is INCREDIBLY annoying.

Try disable "AVG Safe Search", that should work.

How to make the input field of an uplaod button to readonly

Hi all,
I have to upload an excel file using upload button.But the problem here is i want the user to use only browse button to upload a file..but he should not enter mannulally in the input field.Is it possible to gray out the input filed but the browse button should be in active state.
Regards
Padma N

Hi,
I dont think you can make the readonly only for the inputfield which is part of the FileUpload UI.
I guess your issue is related with user entering invalid urls and system hangs.

In ALV display model ,how to accept the ENTER key event?

Dear All,
I have used ALV by GRID DISPLAY model ,not class model.
    CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
    EXPORTING
      i_callback_program       = sy-repid
      i_callback_pf_status_set = 'SET_PF_STATUS'
      i_callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND'
      i_structure_name         = 'T_ITAB'
      is_layout                = gs_layout
      it_fieldcat              = t_fieldcat[]
      i_default                = 'X'
      i_save                   = 'A'
    TABLES
      t_outtab                 = t_itab
    EXCEPTIONS
      program_error            = 1
      OTHERS                   = 2.
For example :
IN ALV DISPLAY, there are two fields, one is MATNR, the other is MAKTX.
When user input the material value in MATNR field and press ENTER, then ALV can run my code to select the MAKTX into MAKTX field and display it synchronization.
Now I have realized update edit in ALV,but I found only I double click ALV row, then the MAKTX can update.
Please give me help,
Thanks

This is the document written by me on Interactive ALV.. hope this maybe helpful for u..
When an Interactive Report is needed in Classical Display, we go for AT LINE-SELECTION. But when the same is needed in ALV Display, this method won't work. Instead, we need to use other way which is explained below:
We use REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY for ALV Display. Now, normally we call that FM in the following way:
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
       EXPORTING
            i_callback_program      = 'PROGRAM_NAME'
            it_fieldcat             = tb_fieldcat
       TABLES
            t_outtab                = tb_output.
When it is needed to get an Interactive ALV, call the same FM in the following manner:
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
       EXPORTING
            i_callback_program      = 'ZTEST75599_1'
            it_fieldcat             = tb_fieldcat
            i_callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND'
       TABLES
            t_outtab                = tb_output.
Now, in the report, create a subroutine with the name USER_COMMAND as follows:
FORM user_command USING p_ucomm    LIKE sy-ucomm
                         p_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
CASE p_ucomm.
    WHEN '&IC1'.   " &IC1 - SAP standard code for double-clicking
Based on the requirement, write the logic                          *
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
No need to call the subroutine as PERFORM user_command. This will be takane care by REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. We need to just write the subroutine in the report. That suffices.
Some more useful points for Interactive ALV:
1. If Hotspot is needed, then that should be done by declaring hotspot (one field in slis_t_fieldcat_alv) as 'X' in tb_fieldcat which is of type slis_t_fieldcat_alv. When hotspot is active, single click will be enough or else you should double click on the output data.
2. In Classical Display, when it is needed to read the record on which we double clicked, we do that in following way:
   AT LINE-SELECTION.
       GET CURSOR LINE wf_line. " wf_line gives the line number on which it has been clicked
         READ LINE wf_line OF CURRENT PAGE.
But this won't work for ALV. Instead, the following logic can be used:
FORM user_command USING p_ucomm    LIKE sy-ucomm
                         p_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
CASE p_ucomm.
    WHEN '&IC1'.   " &IC1 - SAP standard code for double-clicking
      READ TABLE tb_output INTO wa_output INDEX p_selfield-tabindex.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
Based on the requirement, write the logic                          *
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.

How to make the "insert" key on macbook?

I try hard to find insert key,not seen.
what should I do?

I'm afraid there is no insert-key. If you're just going to do some copy-pasting, try command-C for copy and command-V for paste. command-X is for cut.

JFileChooser - activating buttons with the enter key

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to activate the cancel button in the file chooser by tabbing to it, and than pressing the enter key. I know how to do this in a regular dialog, but I can't seem to get the access I need to the JFileChooser to get it to work there.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!
robinste

The Buttons in the File Chooser by default dont use the Enter Key.
You must make the Enter key work if you are to use it
after you tab to get the focus on to it.
For this to be done you will need to extend the FileChooser
and change the key listener for the cancel button .......
Hope t was of some help ............

Remove the Enter key binding from a JPopupMenu

Hi,
Does anyone know how to remove the Enter key binding from a JPopupMenu?
So when the popupmenu is showing and you type Enter, nothing should happen and the menu should stay where it is.
I have tried:
popup.getActionMap().put("enter", null);
popup.getInputMap().put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0), "enter");but the popup always disappears.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
patumaire

First of all, that is not the proper way to "remove" a key binding. Read the Swing tutorial on [How to Use Key Bindings|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/keybinding.html#howto] for more information.
However, we still have a couple of problems:
a) the input map is dynamically built as the popup menu is displayed
b) the input map is built for the root pane, not the popup menu
The following seems to work:
popup.show(...);
InputMap map = getRootPane().getInputMap(JTable.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW);
map.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("ENTER"), "none");
KeyStroke[] keys = map.allKeys();
for (int i = 0; i < keys.length; i++)
     KeyStroke key = keys;
     Object action = map.get( key );
     System.out.println(key + " : " + action);

Customizing the "enter" key

Does anyone know how to reset the "enter" key (to the right of the right-hand "command" key) on the iBook G4 keyboard so that it functions as a second "control" key? I've heard that this is possible, but the Keyboard & Mouse pane in System Preferences seems to be no help with this. I've just begun using emacs, which requires the "control" key all over the place, and it would be really nice to have "control" keys on both sides of the keyboard.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
that's excellent. However, please keep in mind that this app is a "hack" as much as the "handmade" one in the link I gave you. Therefore you should always check the developers website for any known incompatibilities before you perform any system upgrade or things may go haywire.
Take care,
