Bindkeys to switch input for form

kbhow

Hi,

 I'm looking for a skill code which able to switch the input string for the form by using bindkeys.

For example,  i created a form for some rule checks. And user are able to input the data in the reserve string field. Upon finish, all form's data will be store in a table. When next time user invoke the form again, they can use bindkey <key> up and <key> down to check for history.

Thanks

 

  • You can't define bindkeys for forms, but perhaps instead you want to use a "combo box" widget?  This is created using hiCreateComboField() - and allows both a list of cyclic choices (which could be your history) and a type in field.

    Andrew.

  • If you just want to change a string field in a form with a bind key, you can set the bind key to:

    'myForm->myStringField->value = "new string value"
    changing 'myForm to your form symbol and myStringField to the name of your string field in the form.

    If you want to restore a string that was previously reserved or saved by the form into your database then write a function to set 'myForm->myStringField->value to the saved string and call that function from the bindkey such as:
    myFunction("up") ; moves up through history
    myFunction("down") ; moves down through history

  • Entry part can be string field. Implement the history part as a report field (hiCreateReportField). It will be a scrollable, sortable field.

     

  • Hi all,

     Thanks for the prompts reply.  : -)

    Andrew do hit the point that i'm facing. When a form is up, the bindkeys will not working unless the active window is switch to other window. Especially when i trying to use bindkey to change the string's data.

    Let me try on hiCreateComboField and hiCreateReportField.

    Thanks. Cheer

  • Cool...

    It works. I create a function and assign it to <key>up and <key>down to callback for input history. And use function hiCreateComboField to create the string field. It works perfectly.

    Thanks guy.
