Re: - List View keyboard access

Question

Joseph,
Have you tried this method with the ListView widget under Win95/NT4.
I have used this method myself with other types of widgets, but it
doesnt seem to work with the ListView?
For some reason, the Default button is not default when the focus is
inside the ListView.
Dave.

Hello Dave,
i have to use the Enter-Button in all my Application. The second part
of your message is the right solution. You have to create an <enter_button>
- widget.
1. Create an Enter-Button Widget in the Windows-Workshop and set it to the
default Button.
2. In the Display-Method (or Event-Handler) write following:
when self.Window.Form.Traverse(source=source,dest=target) do
if dest.name.isequal('enter_button') then
source.NextTabfield.RequestFocus();
end if;
3. To hide the Enter-Button write:
<enter_button>.widthinpixels=1;
<enter_button>.heightinpixels=1;
4. You have to say which Nexttabfield have to follow e.g:
<FieldWidget1>.NextTabField=<FieldWidget2>;
<FieldWidget2>.NextTabField=<FieldWidget3>;
... (and so on).
This above makes the solution for using the Enter-Button.
If you have an Array-Field or something else, which use an Array (e.g.
Array-Field).
You have to do it explicit by using the Array's Functionality instead of
the widget one. This means:
rownum : integer;
rownum = self.<{ArrayFieldname}>.GetRowForField(field =
{ArrayFieldWidget});
Now you know the selected Field of the Array.
Hope this helps
