Hello,
Is there a simple way to force a form to focus on the next textbox/combo/.. control when one hits the ENTER like(TAB) key?
Now I use this:
Code: Select all
@ 400,430 TEXTBOX t1 ;
WIDTH 120 ;
HEIGHT 25 ;
FONT "Arial" SIZE 8 ;
VALUE 'some value';
NUMERIC ;
INPUTMASK '999999.99' ;
ON GOTFOCUS Form_1.t1.BackColor := WHITE ;
ON LOSTFOCUS {Form_1.t1.BackColor := SILVER } ;
ON ENTER {Form_1.t2.SetFocus } // next textbox
What I want is to to the force to behave on every ENTER to move to the next control (just like in old Clipper..)
The code above works but with many controls it becomes rather confusing.
Thx, Serge(like

Hi Serge,
Give a look at
viewtopic.php?p=33041#p33041
If is with this that you can solve your case.
In this example uses
SetConfOFF() but you can disable it.
SET NAVIGATION EXTENDED is very used for navigating as you require and when you want to force, there are:
_SetNextFocus function which is using
InsertTab() for navigation.

I use 'SET NAVIGATION EXTENDED'. It works except for tree, listbox and Grid.

Thx Pablo, I will try !
One thing: when SET NAVIGATION EXTENDED is set in main will it be applicable in all forms or do I have to set it on/off in every form?

It will work in all forms upto the time you change back for:
SET NAVIGATION STANDARD
Because:
#xtranslate SET NAVIGATION STANDARD ;
=> ;
_HMG_SYSDATA \[ 255 \] := .F.
There is also how to change behaviour for navigation at GRID with:
SET CELLNAVIGATIONMODE EXCEL
This last change for moviment to DOWN + ENTER in Grids.
This must be documented at our Grid.htm (DOC) because is not (I guess).

I guess for some more neither: Buttons, EditBoxes, HyperLinks, Images, Labels, RadioGroups, Sliders, Tabs and Spinners. Not works at all.
For the rest, I tested it works basically in TextBoxes, ComboBoxes, DatePickers and CheckBoxes. Only.
