Yes, the combo box does not return the “selected” menuItem. Likely something to 
do with its compound nature.

Re: Shouldn't space or enter in a menu select the hilited item?

2022-08-15 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode 
I should also mention that menuPick IS getting triggered, but if I use spacebar 
or return to select, the parameter for which item got picked is empty. If I 
click then the parameter is NOT empty it's the item I clicked.

Re: Shouldn't space or enter in a menu select the hilited item?

2022-08-15 Thread Bob Sneidar via use-livecode 
Hi Craig. It's not a popup menu it's a combo box. I do use popup menus and 
those work as advertized. 

When I click to expand a combo box menu, it I get the list of items, and if I 
click an item, it correctly selects that item. If however I use the arrow keys 
to hilite an item then use the space bar or return to select the hilited item, 
the hilited item is NOT selected, it retains it's previous label.

Hi, I was not complete. Once the arrow keys have found the menuItem of 
interest, clicking Enter or Return executes the menuPick handler.

Hi.

I am missing something. Make a popup menu button. Ina mouseUp handler in 
another button:

on mouseUp
  click at the loc of btn 1
end mouseUp

Once the menu is open, the up and down arrow keys navigate among the menuItems.
