Did you request something like the keypreview in VB?
i am using pure J, no Visual Basic, if that is what you mean. Though in that instance i am referring to the J GUI's dialog, for "Find" (there are similar issues with other dialogs). i consider it a bug/fault to have keystroke indications and not respond to keystrokes. Perhaps it is buried in Configure somewhere to turn them on? Can't find it.... Maybe related to -- my GUI issues
If I remember correctly, there is a flag to enable or disable keypreview. If it is enabled every keystroke event will be reported as if for the parent form. Inside parent form's event, user can further allow/disallow the same key event be sent to child control by modifying an output parameter.
Any citation?
Since J event handling does not allow output parameter, there may be difficulty to implement what you requested.
i was taking what hints i could from the end of the 2D Graphics section of J4C chapter 34 on graphics (p205). Henry suggests getting "char Events" from a call like formname_isigraphname_eventname_formlocale_ '' That event is supposed to populate "sysdata". Is that what you need/mean by an "output parameter"? Also hoping to get/utilise "Mouse Events", but i need to first figure out the 4 locatives of that callback to get the data patched into my code when an event occurs. ... And possibly set the "flag" you speak of? As always documentation pointers appreciated. ~greg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
