Set Focus

useratcad

 Hello,

I have a StringField, that looks like this:

hiCreateStringField(
                    ?name 'Test
                    ?prompt "Folder of Test File:.............................................."
                    ?value mvalue
                    ?invisible list(nil)
                    ?callback "checkDirEx( )"
                 )

 where my callback-routine looks like that:

 procedure(checkDirEx()
  prog(()
    
      if(!isDir(MyForm->Test->value) then
        if(hiDisplayAppDBox(
              ?name 'questMsgDBox
              ?dialogStyle 'modal     ; wait for user-interaction before continuing
               ?dboxBanner "Directory not found"
              ?dboxText sprintf(nil "Warning: the entered path does not exist.\nWould you like to change it?" )
              ?dialogType hicQuestionDialog
              ?buttonLayout 'YesNo)==t then    
            Test->focus=t

           )
    )
          
 
  )
)

Is there a way to set to Focus to a field?

  • Thank you for your replies. The button-thing from Bernd is another thing I was looking for.  

    Actually, what I want, is that, if the user enters a path, that is detected as wrong or not existing - there is the DialogBox, that informs the user when he exits the path-Stringfield by clicking into or onto another element on the form.

    Then, when he clicks on YES, the focus should be back in the path-stringfield instead of the element he clicked on.

    The hiSetCurrentField(); doesn't work somehow - is there another thing that can do the trick or is there anything to beware of by using this function?
