Jim: I was thinking about the form shortcut keys, but I've only used then with
Alt-combinations. Do you think a shortcut key for an [F9] would override the
Delete function?

What you want is to create a form custom action to which you assign a function
key.Search for custom form actions in RBase Help.
Shortcut KeyA keyboard shortcut can be defined to launch an action when a key
or key combination is pressed. To assign a shortcut, right click on the
specific Command Name and select "Shortcut Key" from the menu. Within the
dialog, press the desired key or key combination that will be used to run the
Custom Form Action. Jim Bentley, American Celiac Society 1-504-305-2968

Yep I understand! I've never tried this -- would a keymap like this work: set
keymap [F9] = [F9][F8]
That might work, never tried it! If it does work then you could either set it
on entry into the form, and set it off when you exit, or if you want [F9] to
behave that way all the time (like while in a data browser from the R> prompt)
then set the keymap in your startup program.

form. I have a delete button on the screen with code below. Our data entry
people prefer using just the keyboard and pressing F9 is a lot quicker than
tabbing to the Delete button. I am editing 4 separate tables on the form and
whichever record has the focus will be deleted. DELROW NEXTROW

Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - I need to redefine a function key. Dennis: Are you
talking about being in a form or being in the data browser?
If in a form, you can take the delete button out of any navigator control you
have located and instead have a button for delete; there you can delete the row
and do a "nextrow". You would also probably set a keymap so that the [F9] key
is something like a [tab]
If in the data browser, I can't think of a way to keymap the [F9] to do a
delete then a nextrow. When I first switched from DOS to windows that drove
me crazy! In DOS you were always put in the next row which made it easy to
delete blocks of data. In windows I have to remember to put myself on the last
row I want to delete, then I work my way "up".

Subject: [RBASE-L] - I need to redefine a function key.The F9 key is a delete.
It deletes and places the focus on the previous record. I want to delete and
place focus on the next record. There are occasions in my application that
several records need to be deleted and this would reduce the steps required by
the user. Dennis HodgesMaintenance Management ManagerFDOT Office of Maintenance
