Text Entry with Tab Key not advancing to next slide

I am using Captivate 1 to create a screen that has a text
entry requiring the user to press the Tab key as the Shortcut Key.
The users are having to press the Tab key multiple times to get the
course to advance to the next slide. There does not seem to be a
rhyme or reason to which text entries this occurs in, nor does
there seem to be a pattern to the number of times or forcefulness
in which the Tab key must be pressed, though more aggressive key
presses have yielded better results. Sadly, requesting the users
bang the Tab key with as much force as they can muster is not a
viable option.
Here are things I have tried:
Decrease length of slide
Increasing active time of the text entry
Adding/removing playback control
Deleting and recreating text entries
If anyone has any idea what can be done to correct this
problem, it would be much appreciated.

Hi berrylicious877
The following has worked for me in Cap1, so try it and see:
Add the text entry box and include the submit button.
Make the submit button transparent and edit text to a full
stop at the smallest available font size (Captivate won't accept a
submit button without something typed in and a full stop is the
smallest thing available display wise)
On the submit button, set the shortcut key to "Tab".
My reasoning was that the shortcut key on the text entry box
"activates" the box, thus allowing input and the shortcut key on
the "submit" button "deactivates" the box so that the slide can
move on as required.
Please let us know if this helps.

Tab Key Not Working in InDesign HTML5 based panel
Instead of changing focus to next entry field when the tab key is pressed it hides the panel instead.
UI Nightmare.

I’m using editable text fields. When I hit tab nothing happens. Focus stays on current text field.

Override "crtl + tab" key behaviour with "tab" key for JtextArea .

I am trying to override the "crtl + tab" key behaviour for JTextArea with "tab" key plus add my own action. I am doing the following.
1. Setting Tab as forward traversal key for the JTextArea (the default traversal key from JTexArea is "crtl + Tab").
2. Supplementing the "crtl + Tab" key behaviour with my custom behaviour.
For the point 2 above, I need to get hold of the Action represented by the "crtl + Tab" key so that I could use that and then follow with my own custom action. But the problem is that there is no InputMap entry for "crtl + tab". I dont know how the "crtl + tab" key Action is mapped for JTextArea. I used the following code to search the InputMap.
 System.out.println("Searching Input Map");
 for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
 InputMap iMap = comp.getInputMap(i);
 if (iMap != null) {
 KeyStroke [] ks = iMap.allKeys();
 if (ks != null) {
 for (int j = 0;j < ks.length ;j++) {
 System.out.println("Key Stroke: " + ks[j]);
 System.out.println("Searching Parent Input Map");
 for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) {
 InputMap iMap = comp.getInputMap(i).getParent();
 if (iMap != null) {
 KeyStroke [] ks = iMap.allKeys();
 if (ks != null) {
 for (int j = 0;j < ks.length ;j++) {
 System.out.println("Key Stroke: " + ks[j]);
 }In short, I need to get the Action associated with the "crtl + tab" for JTextArea.
regards,
nirvan.

There is no Action for Ctrl+TAB. Its a focus traversal key.

Java Applet problem in Internet Explorer 7 with Tab Key

Hi
I am developing some web pages in which iam using a java applet. so far the intended user are supposed to be using Internet Explorer 7. the problem i am facing is that when i press the tab key within the applet. the control get transferred to new tab position in the web page outside the applet and i have to click back to the applet to get control again transferred to the applet.
i want to restrict the control of tab so that when tab is pressed within the applet the tab should not move to next tab position in the page and remain confined within the applet.
Can someone please help me how can i achieve this and whether i have to do coding for it in the applet or in the web page...so that within the applet the Internet Explorer tab control should remain disabled..

Hello all,
I have the same problem, but I don't found a solution. Could you resolved the problem and who??

Problem with Tab Key in JFileChooser when Details view is selected.

Hi all,
Iam using a JFileChooser in my application.When i click Details option in the JFileChooser the files with the size,Type and modified date are displayed.
When i am using tab to navigate through the JFileChooser,when the tab enters the area where the files are listed with details,the tab is not comming out of the File List area,instead it is traversing with in the files.How do i come out of the File List area using Tab key.I wanted to make a functionality similar to Windows FileChooser where in if we press Tab it goes to the file list and the next tab focus to Text field and so on.
Is it possible using JFileChooser??
Pls Help me,
Thanks and Regards,

Transporting table entry with primary key 120 char

Hi all,
I have 2 separate questions which I feel are closely related.
In the url:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21eb6e446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
It says:....
If the key length is greater than 120, there are restrictions when transporting table entries. The key can only be specified up to a maximum of 120 places in a transport. If the key is larger than 120, table entries must be transported generically.
How do I transport the table entries "generically" for such a table?
To further illustrate my actual problem:
My problem in the real world lies with the MIMETYPES table, maintained in trx SMW0.
I select the mime types row by row and do a Table Entry > Transport Entries, but get an error that says
"Key entry for table MIMETYPES may only be generic".
As a result it fails to attach to my transport.
(Note: the primary key of MIMETYPES is 128 chars long)
The Diagnosis long text says "The key is longer than allowed by the Change and Transport System (120 characters)."
The Procedure says:
1. Make sure that you only specify the character fields before the
 first non-character key field. You must enter the key with a generic
 ending. Enter the generic symbol directly after the specified part
 of the key.
2. You must enter the generic symbol at the latest in the 120th
 character of the key. 
What is this generic symbol that i need to insert at the 120th position??

Thanks Nick!
So the mysterious "generic character" is actually the asterisk (*). It works.
Strange tho as the error long text says to insert the "generic character" at the 120th character position of the key, but I found that altho I can save it, the transport still fails with the same error.
I tried placing the * right after the key value e.g.
KEY123*
and it worked.
Thanks again!

Making the Tab key not work in the JTextArea

In my view I have a JTextArea along with a bunch of JTextFields and JComboBoxes. The user is usually going to tab out of a field in order to go to the next field. What's happening is when the user tries to tab out of the JTextArea, the cursor just moves by a tab length within the JTextArea instead of going to the next field. And if the JextArea has some text in it and if the user tabs into the JTextArea, the whole text gets selected and on hitting the next tab, it gets wiped out.
I am trying to make the JTextArea not respond to the tab by writing the following code. Keymap keyMap = JTextComponent.getKeymap(JTextComponent.DEFAULT_KEYMAP);
KeyStroke tabKey = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB, 0, false);
keyMap.removeKeyStrokeBinding(tabKey);
jTextArea1.setKeymap(keyMap);But it's still not working. Can anybody tell what's wrong with that code. Or is there any other way to do it? Any help/hints appreciated.
Thanks.

If you're using jdk1.4, those other solutions won't
work because the focus subsystem has changed radically
(see
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/awt/doc-file
/FocusSpec.html). The upshot is that you have to
specifically register the keystrokes that you want to
use for focus traversal. In your case, you have to
re-register the Tab and Shift-Tab keys, and
they don't seem to have provided a simple way to do
that. Here's what I come up with:Set forwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
KeyEvent.VK_TAB));
forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.FORWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
forwardTraversalKeys);
Set backwardTraversalKeys = new TreeSet();
backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK));
backwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(
KeyEvent.VK_TAB, InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK |
K | InputEvent.CTRL_MASK));
textArea.setFocusTraversalKeys(
KeyboardFocusManager.BACKWARD_TRAVERSAL_KEYS,
backwardTraversalKeys);Or, you can just press CTRL+TAB instead of TAB when
you get to the JTextArea :).=====================================
i used the above thing but i am getting exceptions classcast exception n method not found (forwardTraversalKeys.add(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB));)keystroke.get keyStroke(int)???? where i am going wrong as it will be quite helpful for me am using jdk1.4.1_02

Select For all entries with multiple keys

Dear Developers,
im writing a program which reads the last the last mseg entry with bwart 101 and bwart 201 an writes it into different fields of a table. In dependance of the bwart the max-value of mkpf-budat should be moved into field wedat or wadat.
At the moment i use this coding:
loop at gt_daten assigning <fs_daten>.
 select distinct max( budat ) from wb2_v_mkpf_mseg2 into <fs_daten>-wedat
 where matnr_i = <fs_daten>-matnr
 and werks_i = <fs_daten>-werks
 and lgort_i = <fs_daten>-lgort
 and bwart_i = '101'.
 select distinct max( budat ) from wb2_v_mkpf_mseg2 into <fs_daten>-wadat
 where matnr_i = <fs_daten>-matnr
 and werks_i = <fs_daten>-werks
 and lgort_i = <fs_daten>-lgort
 and bwart_i = '201'.
endloop.
wb2_v_mkpf_mseg2 is a view combining mkpf an mseg by primary keys.
Searching the internet i read, using FOR ALL ENTRIES should be prefered to selectstatements in loops.
So i tried:
*selectstatement
select budat matnr_i werks_i lgort_i bwart_i from wb2_v_mkpf_mseg2 into table lt_mseg for all entries in gt_daten
 where matnr_i = gt_daten-matnr
 and werks_i = gt_daten-werks
 and lgort_i = gt_daten-lgort
 and ( bwart_i = '101' or bwart_i = '201' )
*Substitute the MAX( )-Function
sort lt_mseg descending by matnr werks lgort bwart budat.
delete adjacent duplicates from lt_mseg comparing matnr werks lgort bwart.
*Differ between wedat and wadat
loop at gt_daten assigning <fs_daten>.
 loop at lt_mseg assigning <fs_mseg>
 where matnr = <fs_daten>-matnr
 and werks = <fs_daten>-werks
 and lgort = <fs_daten>-lgort.
 case <fs_mseg>-bwart.
 when '101'.
 <fs_daten>-wedat = <fs_mseg>-budat.
 when '201'.
 <fs_daten>-wadat = <fs_mseg>-budat.
 endcase.
 endloop.
Even in the dev-system this takes twice the time of the "nested" selects.
Imho this is because of the internal OR interpretation of the FOR ALL ENTRIES-statement and the size of the result.
Can somebody give me a hint, how to tune this code?
Select Inner join should be difficult because the target field differs, dependent of the value in bwart...
Thanks in advance!

I understand that you are trying to capture the maximum value of posting date MKPF-BUDAT for movement types 101 and 201 for each combination of material, plant and storage location.
Few things, that makes the below coding more efficient at both application and database level and I confirmed this on an IDES sandbox
1. Along with MKPF and MSEG, there is another table WBGT, in the view WB2_V_MKPF_MSEG join and also WBGT has select condition restrictions imposed on its fields. So if this restriction impacts your selection you may want to do a INNER JOIN of MSEG with MKPF only (with MSEG as leading table, as it has an active secondary index with MATNR, WERKS, LGORT and BWART ) and also there won't be overhead from the unnecessary join with WBGT table whose fields you are not using.
2. The below SORT on lt_mseg will ensure that the record having greatest BUDAT will be at the top of all rows (least index) for each combination of MATNR, WERKS, LGORT and BWART.
3. DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES will ensure that only the top row (having greatest BUDAT) remains in the table lt_mseg for each combination of MATNR, WERKS, LGORT and BWART. This will ensure that subsequent READs with BINARY SEARCH will always and efficiently read the row with maximum value of BUDAT for each unique combination of MATNR, WERKS, LGORT and BWART.
4. The below logic will require more memory (even though it is more efficient performance wise) compared to direct SELECT with MAX for each MATNR, WERKS, LGORT and BWART in a LOOP the way you were doing before. So if the size of lt_mseg is causing memory issues, your logic with aggregate function MAX at database level will be your only option.
So, I propose you revise your coding like below for most optimal results
CHECK NOT gt_daten[] IS INITIAL.
*selectstatement
*SELECT budat matnr_i werks_i lgort_i bwart_i
* FROM wb2_v_mkpf_mseg2
* INTO TABLE lt_mseg
* FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_daten
* WHERE matnr_i = gt_daten-matnr
* AND werks_i = gt_daten-werks
* AND lgort_i = gt_daten-lgort
* AND ( bwart_i = '101' OR bwart_i = '201' ).
* The below SELECT is more economical than the one commented above
SELECT mkpf~budat mseg~matnr mseg~werks mseg~lgort mseg~bwart
FROM mseg INNER JOIN mkpf
 ON mseg~mblnr = mkpf~mblnr AND
 mseg~mjahr = mkpf~mjahr
 INTO TABLE lt_mseg
 FOR ALL ENTRIES IN gt_daten
 WHERE mseg~matnr = gt_daten-matnr
 AND mseg~werks = gt_daten-werks
 AND mseg~lgort = gt_daten-lgort
 AND ( mseg~bwart = '101' OR mseg~bwart = '201' ).
*Substitute the MAX( )-Function
SORT lt_mseg BY matnr werks lgort bwart DESCENDING budat.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM lt_mseg COMPARING matnr werks lgort bwart.
*Differ between wedat and wadat
LOOP AT gt_daten ASSIGNING <fs_daten>.
READ TABLE lt_mseg ASSIGNING <fs_mseg>
 WITH KEY matnr = <fs_daten>-matnr
 werks = <fs_daten>-werks
 lgort = <fs_daten>-lgort
 bwart = '101' BINARY SEARCH.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
 <fs_daten>-wedat = <fs_mseg>-budat.
ENDIF.
READ TABLE lt_mseg ASSIGNING <fs_mseg>
 WITH KEY matnr = <fs_daten>-matnr
 werks = <fs_daten>-werks
 lgort = <fs_daten>-lgort

IF sy-subrc = 0.

I continue to have problems with text entry with Android 4.1.2 -- Any word on an update?

When my phone (Droid 4: I like the physical keyboard, which seems to be going the way of the dodo) was upgraded to 4.1.2 a while back, the following happened:
-- Spell check disappeared from text entry using any browser;
-- Auto-complete started losing track of where I was in a sentence, so hitting backspace deleted entire words instead of the last character typed;
-- The Swype keyboard ceased to function.
As a result, I had to give up on many of the spell-check features and give up on the Swype keyboard.
I'm really hoping that an update is forthcoming, and further, that it will fix the issues with the last one.
Anyone have any idea?

I have not installed any third party messaging apps or keyboard functionality apps, at least not intentionally. I rebooted in Safe Mode and all symptoms are the same. I tested it by going to Google Translate, which has a web input window. Spell check was inactive, Swype was capitalizing every word, making it basically useless.
A symptom that I failed to mention continues to be present in Safe Mode also – when hitting the shift key and backspacing, the selected text is not highlighted, so I basically have to guess what I’ve selected, and only find out if I’m right once I hit backspace or start typing in replacement text.
Spell check was inactive in third party applications also, for example Quick Office. It did show up in Gmail. I was unable to duplicate any application getting lost in terms of where the cursor is so that I deleted the wrong text; however, this is an intermittent problem, so I would probably have to do a lot of typing, etc., to duplicate it. However, I have seen other posts complaining about phone behavior very similar to what I reported.
Bottom line – The phone acted precisely the same in Safe Mode as it did outside of Safe Mode.
Thanks.
(Also, it would be helpful if you could tell me how to reply to a post in the community – I got this reply posted by replying to the e-mail, but I don’t see any reply link on the message webpage.)

Problem with tab-key navigation

I am making chanegs to an existing form.
I have a tab canvas with 3 tabs, each contains a data block, and other data blocks outside of the tab canvas.
I wanted the tab key to move the cursor to the next record so I changed the navigation style from "Change Block" to "Change Record", but it did not help. When the cursor is a on a record of a multi-record block and I tab through the items to the last one, pressing the tab key leads me to another tab-page.
I put in some debug code and noticed that the WHEN-TAB-CHANGED trigger did not fire. The WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger fired and the cursor block and record number were correct.
After the tab key took me to another tab-page and I navigated back to the original tab-page. Even though it looks like I'm on the correct tab page, SYSTEM.cursor_block was NOT correct, it was pointing to another data block outside of the tab canvas.
I checked other forms on our system and I'm pretty sure that changing the navigation style to "Change Record" would work. Perhaps there's something peculiar about this form.
Any idea will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Found the problem.
For some reason, the WHEN-NEXT-ITEM trigger of the last item of the record is hard-coded to go the another block.

Field validation with Tab Key

I am writing an application in which I must validate the data a user enters into a textfield when the user presses the "Tab" key. I have added a KeyListener to the textfield and when this java code is run as an applet the KeyListener catches the Tab key and all works fine. When I run this as an application, the Tab key does not seem to be caught at all by the Key Listener.
Has anybody else had this problem on the IPAQ, if so, do you know a solution.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I've been having this problem as well. I have created my applet using Visual Cafe 3 (Java 1.1). When I run this in Jeode it work great, Personal java works great, MSVM works great, but when I try to run using Sun Plugin 1.4.2_02 the tab key events are never fired.
Does anybody have a solution for this? Unfortunately, we are stuck developing with an older version of Java because of Visual Cafe.
