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

    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
