1. Another Win32Lib Question

Is there any change I can make in Win32Lib to allow users to use the ENTER key to move between input fields in, for example, a database screen. instead of the awkward TAB key? This TAB key business slows down the data entry process significantly, and requires 2 hands rather than one, which is bad news for this particular application I'm working on. Thanks, Irv

Sure. Take a look at the isTabKey function, and change VK_TAB to VK_RETURN. That *should* take care of it. Not that in an MleText field, you will then have to press Ctrl+Enter to exit. If you don't like that, it should be easy enough to change the logic. -- David Cuny

If key =3D ENTER then -- go to next field, or a check routine end if In an MleText field, CTRL_ENTER can be used, I think. ----- ^ | /-\<| ----- | Gratis e-mail en meer: http://www.dolfijn.nl/ | Een product van Ilse: http://www.ilse.nl/
