Re: Sending ArrowKey("down")

[Sivakatirswami]

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

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")

[Sivakatirswami]

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
