Key Event Trigger for whole window or frame?

[cthulhugeek]

Hi,

My client wants to have the same function keys available on the gui version I am creating as we had on the chui version. So at the bottom of the screen there are buttons labeled like "f4 - exit" and "f6 - inventory", etc.. When there are many input fields on a dialog screen how can I have a keyboard trigger like f6 active no matter what input field you are in without having to add the trigger to each field. I tried adding it to the trigger to the default frame and to the window, and nothing happens, It only seems to work if I put the trigger on each field. Any help would be much appreciated.

We are running progress 9.1E on windows XP clients, and windows 2003 server.

Kind Regards,

PUT in beginning of main block:

For F6 for example:

ON F6 ANYWHERE RUN someprocedure.

or

ON F6 ANYWHERE APPLY "some_event" TO "some_object".

HTH,

Casper.
