2738.0. "Trapping <TAB> chars inside Dialog Boxes" by SCOTMN::WOOD (El Vaquero) Wed May 09 1990 16:36

Hi,

  Can anybody tell me the mechanism that a dialog box uses to
make <Tab> characters change the focus from one text widget to the
next; is it installed as an accelerator. I'm trying to change the
action for a <Tab> char from focus change to calling my own action
proc. Has anybody been succesful in doing this.

Any help appreciated

You need to put the following 2 arguments in your
UIL definition for the dialog box:


		argument('grabKeySyms') = 0;
		argument('grabMergeTranslations') = 0;
	
2738.2Thanks for the prompt replySCOTMN::WOODEl VaqueroThu May 10 1990 08:487
I think the expression I want to use now is 'I couldn't see the wood for
the trees'.

Thanks again

Richard
