How to move cursors in a browse windows from a program ?

[PankX]

xxx yyy zzz
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
10 11 12

I have 3 fields xxx,yyy,zzz and 4 records in a browse field xxx,yyy,zzz blah..blah..blah in window. First, the cursor is in the first record first field (1). How to move the cursors to (8) using a program ?

Thank's

If you know the cursor is always starting in field #1 and you want it to move to field #8, it's easy:

FOR i = 1 to 7
   KEYBOARD "{tab}"
ENDFOR

If you don't know where the cursor is starting from:

DO CASE
   CASE VARREAD() == "Xxx"
      FOR i = 1 to 7
         KEYBOARD "{tab}"
      ENDFOR
   CASE VARREAD() == "Yyy"
      FOR i = 1 to 6
         KEYBOARD "{tab}"
      ENDFOR
   CASE VARREAD() == "Zzz"
      FOR 1 = 1 to 5
         KEYBOARD "{tab}"
      ENDFOR
ENDCASE

It ain't elegant, but it works.
