Re: Sending ArrowKey(down)
yep, that's exactly what I ended up doing... much more solid approach, slightly more verbose, But sometimes verbose is good: you can see what's happening setting the hilitedline of a fld makes more sense than than trying to emulate a system keyboard input event. got this now in that same fld. on tabkey if the shiftkey is down then saveCaption set the hilitedline of fld fileList to (gLastLine-1) send postimage to fld fileList else saveCaption set the hilitedline of fld fileList to (gLastLine+1) send postimage to fld fileList end if end tabkey Ken Ray wrote: Try: send arrowKey quote down quote to fld fileList But personally if there is a better way, like to activate the same handler that is activated when arrowkey down is triggered, that would be best, IMHO...

Sending ArrowKey(down)
I have an arrowkey handler in a list field. when the user arrows down, stuff happens... I would like to be able to pass that arrow key down from a field but i can't get it to work: the idea is: someone is typing in this field and when they are done, they hit tab and the arrowkey msg is sent to the list field. on tabkey send arrowkey(down) to fld fileList end tabkey doesn't work on tabkey send arrowkey(down) to fld fileList end tabkey also doesn't work. The field is not in a group, there is no group on the card and thus the field does not have tabbed behavior explicitely set, but still if I tab from the field it goes to the next field on the card. But the tabkey msg is sent, because I do get an error message say error in function: arrowkey(down) The docs say: Note: Sending an arrowKey message does nothing unless there is an arrowKey handler in the message path. This is a difference from HyperTalk's handling of the arrowKey message. So, it appears like it should work, but there's no example in the docs on just exactly how to send an arrowKey message, which one assumes must require a parameter to indicate which of the four arrow keys one is emulating. I'm missing some thing simple TIA Sivakatirswami ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
