There's a standard keystroke for this on the Palm, and while you're
at it I suggest supporting tab for the same thing (both for your
convenience in the emulator, and for folks who may have keyboards for
their Palms). It is documented, thought I forget exactly where. Here
a blibbet of code from one of my dialogs that will get you started,
this goes in your form handler...
case keyDownEvent:
if( eventP->data.keyDown.chr == vchrNextField ||
eventP->data.keyDown.chr == vchrPrevField ||
eventP->data.keyDown.chr == chrHorizontalTabulation )
{
// figure out where the current focus is,
// find the next or previous field,
// switch the focus and select all the text
handled = true;
}
break;
