Re: Need help with chkkey & getkey V6.5++ dos

Bernie,

You must KEYMAP [F12] before entering the form, otherwise [F12] will not take you out of the field when you press it.

set keymap [F12] = [Enter]
edit using whateverform

While in the form on the field with the EEP, press [F12]. Since it now is the [Enter] key it will activate the EEP (assuming you have it triggered on exit from the field).

Here is the EEP:

set var akey = (lastkey(1))
if akey = "[F12]" then
pause 2 using "F12 was pressed"
endif
return

Best regards,
Mike Young

I still don't understand -- here is my eep
 


set escape off

set keymap [F12] = [Enter]

set var akey = (lastkey(1))

if akey = "[F12]" then

pause 2 using "F12 was pressed"

endif

set escape on

set keymap [F12] off

return

Am I right in saying that the exit eep won't execute until I press [Enter] to leave that field. So the last key is [Enter] not [F12]

How do I detect that [F12] has been pushed?

You might have better luck remapping f12 to '[enter]' then testing for lastkey(1).

In an eep I tried the following:
set var gotkey = (chkkey(0))
if gotkey = 1 then
 set var f12 = (getkey(0))
 f12 = '[F12]'  then
   do something
 endif
endif
 
I put this eep in an exit from the first field in the form, in a region.
I touch F12 but nothing happens. Of course the eep doesn't execute until I exit the field. so how do I use it?
 
I want to bring up a second form when F12 is pressed.
