I tried to modify some code I found on the list to do the key trapping, but
my text fields don't seem to fire KeyDown events, as near as I can tell.
I'm hoping someone can tell me what stupid mistake I'm making in this code:
$bc = $confwin->AddTextfield(
-name=>"bc",
-password=>0,
-prompt => ["Barcode:",-50],
-pos=>[100,25],
-tabstop=>1,
-size=>[150,20],
-visible=>1);
sub bc_KeyDown()
{
print "IN KEYDOWN!\n";
}
I can launch the app, but when I type anything in the bc text field, I don't
get anything printed to the console as I'd expect it to be.

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Enter key to move between text fields
I appologize in advance for my ignorance... I'm not a GUI programmer, have
never been a GUI programmer, and will probably never BE a GUI programmer.
Somehow, this doesn't matter to managment.
I'm writing a program used for data-entry. The vast majority of data will
be input using the number pad. What I'd like to do is be able to use the
enter key to move from one text field to the next, ie it starts at the top
field, I type a 1 <ENTER> and it moves to the second field, and so on,
until you get to the end, where enter fires off a function that submits
the form.
I don't have all that many text fields, so putting an individual key trap
on each of the controls, that just moves focus to the next one, would be
just fine, I'm just not sure of the best way to do this. Any help would
be appreciated.
Thanks!
