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

Why can't you trap the enter key while your data entry form has
the focus and translate the ENTER key into a TAB key command

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.

Irv,
Although you already got 2 answers, I have yet another one:
Trapping a KEYPRESS_EVENT in the input field should work too, if
it's not a multiline edit.
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.
