TAB functionality in a custom screen.

Former Member — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 07:31:56 GMT

Hi,

I need to develop a screen where in it contains table controls, different push buttons and Input output fields. One of the button is TAB. This tab button should function as a TAB functionality in the keyboard. Meaning whenever I click on this it should take me from one button to another button and when cursor is in table control it should take from one column to another column. Suppose if cursor is on fields (Input/Output fields) then it should take from one field to another field.

Cursor on Fields:

I have tried with Set cursor and increasing the counter and again using the set cursor to place on the counter(next) field. But this is not working. I have different types of fields meaning some Char, Int, Currency. Among these I need to move cursor.

Hi,

You can use TAB functionality by key board itself.

Why again the to handle it seperately

Hi Sreevani,

Our custom transaction will be used in a 3rd party tool where these all the keyboard functionalities won't be there.

Hi Malla,

Thanks!

I was doing the same , but I was passing the value of the field instead name of the field for the SET CURSOR. To scroll the tabs between the diff push buttons i am assigning the functional key to each push buttons whihc has a facility in the 3rd party tool.
