thanks Chris, I don't see anything useful happening as a result of adding a default property to a button.
I can see that defining a __default function does intercept keystrokes in 'sysdata' but the enter key does not get "captured" (though backspace does). Strangely, pressing the enter key repeats the last key that was in sysdata. Is there a recommended way to tell if the enter key has been pressed? ----- Original Message ----- From: chris burke <[email protected]> To: General forum <[email protected]> Cc: Sent: Thursday, May 28, 2015 9:51 PM Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] wd button default Usually you want to handle wd events. Use showevents_jqtide_ to display the events in the session. If displaying wdq, note that the first 3 rows show the event handlers. These are searched in order and the first one found will be executed. Escclose simply means that pressing Esc will signal a cancel event. If you also set closeok on the parent, then pressing Esc will close the form without an event, for example the image form in the Qt demos has this property.
