Re: Post Key command not working in converted 4Dv16 database - SOLVED

2017-10-11 Thread Ken Daniel via 4D_Tech 
All, I finally solved my problem. All I had to do was check* Unicode Mode*
in Design > Database Settings > Compatibility. Thanks very much to everyone
for their suggestions and help. :-) Ken


*P.S. Ultimately it was Vance Villanueva from 4D Tech Support that helped
me solve the problem. He prepared a screencast showing me that post key
worked using my database and I noticed during the screencast a message
popped up warning that the database must be used in Unicode mode in order
to be opened and asking to temporarily switch to Unicode mode. I had never
seen that message before and that's what lead me to check the Unicode Mode
in my database.*

Re: Post Key command not working in converted 4Dv16 database - SOLVED

2017-12-08 Thread Pat Bensky via 4D_Tech 
I am also having problems with POST KEY in v16. It simply doesn't work :)
Sample code:

*Case of*

*:* ($i="copy")

*POST KEY*(*Character code*("c");Command key mask)

*:* ($i="paste")

*POST KEY*(*Character code*("v");Command key mask)

*:* ($i="cut")

*POST KEY*(*Character code*("x");Command key mask)

*:* ($i="selectAll")

*POST KEY*(*Character code*("a");Command key mask)

End case


The database is definitely running in Unicode mode - it was created new in
v16.


Any ideas? Still a bug?

Re: Post Key command not working in converted 4Dv16 database - SOLVED

2017-12-08 Thread Keisuke Miyako via 4D_Tech 
this works file in unicode mode (I think the mode is irrelevant, but it may not 
work on a non-qwerty keyboard)

it should be possible to quickly confirm on a simple form.

but:

do you have a menu bar associated with the form?
do you have a menu bar installed for the process?

and more importantly:

which from event/form object triggers the code?
what is the window type?
does the edit action work manually?

(some window typs, by design, may not accept keyboard input)

having said that:

the standard way to invoke an edit action is to use a "standard action"
or use the INVOKE ACTION command  (16R)

You're right ... INVOKE ACTION is a much better solution!
Thanks
