1. Can I just confirm Alt handling etc
I have a button (or two):
constant Browse = create( PushButton, "&Browse", blah blah
...
procedure onclickBrowse()
blah blah
onClick[Browse]=routine_id("onclickBrowse")
works fine. Alt B correctly shifts focus to the button.
At the mo, Alt B does not invoke onclickBrowse().
(not exactly surprised, I guess I ain't told it to yet)
Question:: Do I need:
onKeyDown [ xxx ] = routine_id("xxx")
for *every* widget to point to the same routine,
then, via getSelf() figure out what to do for eg Return,
and trap/process Alt B (and all the other buttons) in one place?
Is that the "best" way to code it?
Can I rely on "onKeyDown[<not specified>]" looking up & invoking the
parent, or not?

Pete,
Maybe I'm not understanding, but as far as I can see you don't need to do
*anything* other than set the ampersand in the name of the button to make
alt-whatever activate the onclick event.
This example works fine for me, with NO onKey events specified:
-- code generated by Win32Lib IDE v0.10.6
include Win32Lib.ew
without warning
----
-- Window Window1
global constant Window1 = create( Window, "Window1", 0, Default, Default,
400, 300, 0 )
global constant StatusBar5 = create( StatusBar, "StatusBar5", Window1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 0 )
global constant PushButton2 = create( PushButton, "&PushButton2", Window1,
24, 36, 90, 30, 0 )
global constant PushButton3 = create( PushButton, "P&ushButton3", Window1,
196, 44, 90, 30, 0 )
global constant PushButton4 = create( PushButton, "Pu&shButton4", Window1,
52, 116, 90, 30, 0 )
----
procedure PushButton2_onClick ()
setText(StatusBar5, "Button2")
end procedure
onClick[PushButton2] = routine_id("PushButton2_onClick")
----
procedure PushButton3_onClick ()
setText(StatusBar5, "Button3")
end procedure
onClick[PushButton3] = routine_id("PushButton3_onClick")
----
procedure PushButton4_onClick ()
setText(StatusBar5, "Button4")
end procedure
onClick[PushButton4] = routine_id("PushButton4_onClick")
WinMain( Window1, Normal )

4. Re: Can I just confirm Alt handling etc
Pete,
you have found a new bug in the library. The fix is simple though.
In the routine called isHotKey() find the line :
if window_class[ focus ] = BUTTON and (event = WM_KEYDOWN)
then change it to :
if window_class[ focus ] = BUTTON and
((event = WM_KEYDOWN) or (event = WM_SYSKEYDOWN))
There is still something else wrong somewhere in that it beeps when the
control already has focus, but I'll work on that issue later.

HELLS BELLS. I thought it was bad enuf when Dan's code worked and mine
didn't. As a sanity check I just searched the source code of the
interpreter and couldn't find the line
"if Code_Written_By==Pete_Lomax &
Person_Running_Code==Pete_Lomax"
If it is some setting on my PC why does Dan's code work, not mine?

I dunno Pete. Neither yours nor Dan's worked on mine until I repaired the
library.

Because this is Window convention. The Alt-<x> for button-type controls is
supposed to set focus to it, and invoke the click event.

Maybe you are using a corrected version of the library already.

8. Re: Can I just confirm Alt handling etc
Pete,
Your example works fine for me, pressing <alt> b or c give the associated
message in status bar; bell dings with <alt><either> but not with click on
button, and the "dotted" frame inside the button changes to whichever
associated key was pressed but does not depress. I'm running with Win32Lib
55x1.
I doubt this is the cause of the difference between how these examples are
working for different people, but I have my system set up to run programs
when *single* clicked, instead of double-clicked.
:)

LOL. Yes the joke's on me. I am using a different version. In the one I'm
using, I had added the test for WM_KEYDOWN to get around another bug, but by
doing so I introduced a new one.
Thanks, Chris.
