Hi guys,

Is there an easy way to make powercobol think that the return-key is the tab-key using the cobol.cbr file.

I like using the enter key to go around a page (just like the old DOS days) and it is much easier on the fingers when entering numbers.

Many thanks,

Mike

Create a "Return" event for each field in the form, and in that event code:
INVOKE your_next_control_name "SetFocus".

This is one way. There may be another one(s).

Frederico,

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to get away from having to code this on overy field in the complete suite of modules.

I am sure there is a way it can be coded in the cobol.cbr but I am not sure how.

Kindest Regards,

Mike

Should we assume you will not need a "RETURN" key at all in this application?

Sorry to confuse you guys.

I have a application that uses alot of data input, so instead of pressing the tab-key every time to go from field to field, it would be more sensible to use the enter-key and not the tab-key.

I want the system to think that when the enter-key is pressed, it thinks it is the tab-key and moves to the next field in the tab order.
