Mac OSX powerbook G3, RB 2005r4, 2006r1,2 :
I have a string of visible, enabled pushbuttons (in consecutive control
order) so they can be tab-selected (blue border jumps from one to the other
each time tab is pressed, then starts over again).
I want to be able to fire any tab-selected (blue bordered) button with the
Return or Enter key, but the only things that will fire the selected button
are the Spacebar and the mouse.
I have tried setting the selected button to .default in the window keydown
event, with no Return/Enter key result either. And there seems to be no way
to turn off .default when jumping to the next button via the tab key in the
window.keydown event. It seems to ignore button.default = false. I find that
any button with the blue border - even a throbbing blue default button with
the blue tab select border - won't fire with the Enter or Return key, and
can only be activated by the spacebar (of all things), and the mouse.
Surely there is a way to tab-select the button I need, and fire it with the
Enter or Return key?? What's the trick? It's almost automatic in Windows
(which uses .setfocus instead of .default). Any idea what I missed?
Regards,
Robert
