Tab browsing between Edit Boxes

[indigo 0]

Hi,

Is there a way to jump between edit boxes / buttons on a page by pressing i.e. the tab key? I've tried via speed key and to look online but I could never find anything.

Thanks in advance for your support!

Yes, but it is not as easy as I would hope.  You need to create a sequence called OnKeyDown and then add some script.  For example, if you had a user/password popup:

if (component.userNameEdit.GetFocus())
   if (key == 9)
      component.userPasswordEdit.SetFocus()
      return
   endif
   if (key == 13)
      enteredName = component.userNameEdit.strContents
      enteredPass = component.UserPasswordEdit.strContents
      Login(EnteredName,EnteredPass)
   endif      
endif
if (component.userPasswordEdit.GetFocus())
   if (key == 9)
      component.UserNameEdit.SetFocus()
      return
   endif
   if (key == 13)
      enteredName = component.userNameEdit.strContents
      enteredPass = component.UserPasswordEdit.strContents
      Login(EnteredName,EnteredPass)
   endif      
endif

Login() is just some function that performs the login.  The key parts are the GetFocus() which returns if the specified component is focused, SetFocus() which sets a component to have focus, and the checks for "key" which is a parameter passed to OnKeyDown with the key code of the key pressed.  9 is tab, 13 is carriage return.

Thanks for the reply, I only now managed to get around to implementing this, so sorry for the delay.

I found the sample code in the DAQFactory folder and I guess that code snippet you provided has to be added to a sequence called "OnKeyDown" for it to work. I tried to do the following (which tabs between multiple edit boxes):

switch
   case(component.edit_box1.GetFocus())
      component.edit_box2.SetFocus()
   case(component.edit_box2.GetFocus())
      component.submit_button.SetFocus()
endcase

But, it doesn't seem to be able to put buttons into focus, is this correct? Or is my code snippet wrong? Thanks!

Buttons never have focus, so no.
