How can I make one key press mimic another

[benny4129]

I have written a program using 20 single character entry fields. The fields have to be like this because the alpha characters are later added depending on the value entered for each entry. I need know how the use the spacebar when pressed to act like the tab key. Is it possible to do this.

Thanks Benny

Hi Benny,

Which version of Clarion do you use? Is your progam an application or a hand-coded clarion project?

The simplest approach is to use ALIAS(EnterKey,TabKey) i.e. if you are using C6.x. Otherwise, do a ALERT(EnterKey) and trap the ALERT() at the top of the ACCEPT loop, update the current control and select the next control.
