Hi!
This is the format and there is one for Return=Yes|No
So, look at this example. In standard XML they use multilines but GW
shortens the name.
So include the return=yes as part of your code.

An editbox element creates a standard edit box control, used for obtaining
keyboard
input. If returns is set to no in a multiline edit box, pressing ENTER will
cause
the default button to be selected.

Subject: RE: questions on app UI design (possible answer to question 2)
A possible answer to question 2.
First here's a reminder of the question:
2. [snip] Is there an attribute or empty element that will enable the
left and right arrow keys to cycle through the items? the idea would
be so that pressing left arrow on file would move focus onto help,
and pressing right arrow over help would move it back to file.
It seems that declaring the minimize or sysmenu or both attributes in
the dialog element solves the issue. the result is the inclusion of
the system pulldown menu in the menubar and the ability to loop
through the menubar items with either the left or right arrow keys.
Regards
Matt
