Hello: Need help to work around this issue:
Using a foot pedal to fire events associated with a number of controls. Once such control is a TComboBox. The Left pedal keys in ALT+J which fires a popupmenu item with that shortcut. The popup event does the work to fire the event for the TComboBox or the other controls. This works great for using a foot pedal through out my application, except when the ComboBox's drop down list is open. After a lot of experimenting, the ALT+J is just not acted on at all. My intent is to open the drop down list with the Left pedal and on the second press of the Left pedal close it up. It opens fine, but no keyboard message goes through with the drop down list open, thus it cannot close without a manual click. I've tried using a TMenu item with shortcut and this acts the same way, i.e. no access to the short-cut when the ComboBox drop down list is open. I've tried using other short-cuts, still no success. It literally stops all forward movement through my app on this one issue. Any work arounds? So far the only thing that kind of works, is to add a TTimer and have it fire a ComboBox.DroppedDown := false after a short period of time, long enough for the user to see the possible selection. (The RIGHT pedal allows incremental selection of the combo box.) The whole idea of using the foot pedal is for people (Health practitioners) who are in a position where they cannot access a mouse while working with a patient. Thank you for your help, Chuck Belanger _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://lists.elists.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/delphi
