Tom, Razzak showed you how last year. Search for “counting characters as you type” in your RBASE-L directory.
Claudine From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Frederick Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2017 10:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [RBASE-L] - Typed versus Scanned Is there some way to count the keys pressed? I assume a 7 character bar code does not require a keyboard key press (does the bar code reader button count as one?) while manually entering the characters on a keyboard requires 7 key presses that can be counted. That allows 1 = bar code and anything over 1 is manual.

It would be a lot of work depending on how many fields are scanned.

I basically want to determine where the input originated from after the user exits the field. Did he/she scan the value, or was it typed? I've been playing around with lastkeypressed and slen of the values, but without success so far. ________________________________ From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> on behalf of Albert Berry <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: Tuesday, March 7, 2017 11:03 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Typed versus Scanned In the form, right clock the memo field and add an EEP to the on exit EEP section.
