Question Function keys in .NET UI

[Stefio Almeida]

Hi Forum,

I am migrating a MFG/PRO Version 9 source to QAD and apparently the "ON F3" keypress defined in the frame attribute is not working in the QAD .NET version but runs just fine in CHUI. Any idea why and how to make .NET UI recognize this F3 event?

Regards,
Stefio

Hallo Stefio,

this is unfortunately -by design - not possible. You will be limited to "GO", "END-ERROR" and "DELETE" functions. To have more selectable options available in a .NET based "CHOOSE" list, you will have to implement a small selection Frame which is displayed whenever a list line is activated using "GO" or "SPACE BAR" .

In our Business users do not complain if some "old" programs are migrated (Domain field et cetera) but kept running in "Terminal" mode while being emraced by the .NET app.

Basically, it is your desicion, generally influenced by design and budget questions. However, .NET is something it pays to migrate into. Users will definitely enjoy working with it.
