NewEra 2.2 - Activating Button's with 'ENTER'
Posted in 1997
Hi, The standard function 'messagebox' can display various buttons eg. OK or Cancel or both. The thing is, they can be activated by either the 'enter' key or the 'spacebar' key, or toggle between button's using the arrow keys. Question. ######### Why have Informix not allowed an 'enter' key to activate buttons in NewEra rather than only the 'spacebar' key? It seems stupid to me for the standard function 'messagebox' to work like other window programs, and that normal buttons can only be activated with the 'spacebar' key. Or is there a way around it? There doesn't appear to be a keypress event on buttons. It is very confusing for the user. He can see focus is on the button but pressing the 'enter' key does nothing.!! Anyone think likewise? Regards Tim Bye for now Correct spelling in 'excelsys' to 'excelsis' for e-mail.
