CHUI Browse Navigation

[lee_shelton]

Progress 8.3c on SCO Unix.
The docs say that to go from field to field in an update browse to use EDITOR-TAB (Ctrl-G) and BACK-TAB (Ctrl-U).

This works, but I can't roll out a screen telling users to do a ctrl-g/u.

So I thought I would try to use an event and then apply "EDITOR-TAB" to the browse.

Using apply "EDITOR-TAB" does not any effect (neither does apply "CTRL-G" -- thought I would try).

Does anyone else have any column navigation ideas that are more intuitive than ctrl-g / ctrl-u?

Thanks

Sorry, is it okay to reply to myself?

I found that, while in a browse widget, pressing TAB has a different LAST-EVENT:FUNCTION value than TAB in a fill-in widget. TAB on a fill-in shows LAST-EVENT:Function='TAB' and LAST-EVENT:Label='TAB'.

However, TAB from an update browse (CHUI)shows LAST-EVENT:Function='' (Blank or Null) and LAST-EVENT:Label='ESC-z'

Also, I succeeded with a simple APPLY "entry" to [FIELD] in browse [browse name] to navigate among columns.

Apologies for overlooking that, but I did think that the TAB behavior might be of interest to others.

Thanks

Sure it's ok... glad you were able to figure it out so quickly

Thanks for posting the follow up. I wasn't aware of this behavior myself, I would have thought the last-event would have been TAB for both fill-in and browse widgets.
