J.J.,
Is this a script generated dialog box? If so, the maxlength and
restrictions attributes of the editbox UI element will make your life
easier.

That seemingly was the easy part, and thanks for the tip.
The actual entering of the number to make it behave as if a user typed
it wasn't so much.
A couple of these lines may wrap in your Email.
sub useNumber(i)
dim win, ch, j, k
set win = focusedWindow.parent
if not win is nothing then
set ch = win.children
for j = 1 to ch.count
if ch(j).control.ID = 102 then
set win = ch(j)
win.focus
j = win.control.cursor
k = len(win.control.text)
if k < 13 then
' The field only should accept up to 13 characters
Win.Control.Text = left(win.Control.Text,j) & i &
right(win.Control.Text, k - j)
speak i
win.Control.Cursor = j + 1
end if
exit for
end if
next
end if
end sub

Subject: Re: Handling Characters from Within a Dialog
J.J.,
Try hooking OnChildActivate and OnChildDeactivate from the desktop
window. E.G.
ConnectEvent DesktopWindow, "OnChildActivate", "OnChildActivate"
ConnectEvent DesktopWindow, "OnChildDeactivate", "OnChildDeactivate"
Sub OnChildActivate(oWindow)
'... if this is your dialog, register hotkeys.
End Sub
Sub OnChildDeactivate(oWindow)
'... If this isn't your dialog and you have already registered
hotkeys, unregister now.
End Sub
HTH.

Hello. I want to add an event in my dialog where if a number is
pressed, focus is moved to a particular field and the number is
entered.
I looked at the immed script since I know it uses select all as a
key from within the window. I see the idea would be to register a
hotkey (or in this case 10) from within the dialog and dump them
once the dialog is closed.
It's the unregistering part that confuses me. I notice that the
selectAll key is unregistered for the dialogClosing event which I
assume is as the dialog is closing, go figure. But what about if the
dialog loses focus? Is this being accounted for in this script or is
there another event to watch for? Obviously, I only want these
numbers to work from within the dialog box.
Thanks for any help.
