Dan:

In the valid clause of the control enter something like this:

_curobj = objnum(next_control) &&next control is the variable name of the

next control

show get next_control

How can I program the drop-down box in FPW26 to leave the control when the

user hits [enter] rather than tab?

TIA,

Dan Neuman

Can someone answer a few questions about popups in FPW26?

1. How to create quickfill capability (or a way to go through the list using

the keyboard)?

2. How to leave control on [enter] key press?

3. How to add "on-the=fly" adding of fields when drop-down does not contain

the needed value?

TIA,

You could try SET KEYCOMP TO DOS.

I wrote an article in the July 1995 FoxPro Advisor magazine which

showed how to do QuickFill in textboxes. You might be able to adapt the

technique to work with lists.

Ed,

Your article has my interest.

I was doing other things in 1995 and do not have that issue or access to it.

Is there anything you can forward me to help.

About the best I can do is offer you their phone number:

800-336-6060. They offer back issues on CD.

Dan:

1. Not sure what *quickfill capability* is...But you can go through the list in

FPW26 by pressing a key on the keyboard to position the list. It's like an

incremental search in VFP6.

2. In the valid to the control enter:

_curboj = objnum(next_control) &&next_control is the variable of what

control is to receive the focus

show get next_control &&select that next control to receive focus

3. if the drop down doesn't have what the user needs you can provide the user

with an *other* field; the valid to the *other* text box can then manipulate an

array which feeds the drop down. Something like this...

dimension some_array(alen(some_array) + 1) &&array made larger by one; drop

down is populated by array *some_array*

some_array(alen(some_array)) = text_box_value &&equate new subscript with text

box value for *other*

hold_value = text_box_value &&save this value to later position drop down

text_box_value = "" &&empty text box

show get text_box_value &&show the empty value in the other text box

=asort(some_array) &&rearrange the array so it is sorted (if you wish)

var_for_drop_down = ascan(some_array, hold_value) &&position drop down with new

value

show get var_for_drop_down &&refresh the drop down

I've seen this question asked before and I reviewed what I could find on

Deja News but nothing seems to be doing the trick.

Can anyone tell me how to programmatically drop the list portion of a

combobox down?

Thanks!

--Brad

Function GotFocus

KEYBOARD "{F4}"

If it's a combo list you can

KEYBOARD "{SPACEBAR}"
