Field Input Denied

#1 Post by omni »

Roger,

Probably an easy way to do this, but I never have.

Have a field (50 characters) where I do not want to use the drop down list due to space on the window, and deny them typing. Force a popup but no keyboard allowed. The required items are fairly long descriptive requirements by one specific of their customers, so in a dbf for standard selection.

Guess I could use a checkbox and force them to check and then select, but did not know if there was a method already built in.

Thanks, and be safe in this weird time

Hello Omni,
add the following to your object:

Code: Select all

KEYBLOCK {|a,b,o| o:undo() }

Hi,

Maybe you can use a button, where the caption of the button dynamically displays the current value. When a user clicks on it, you can display the evailable options.
Best regards,

Chris.
