In preparation for migrating (plunging?) to windows, I think I might need to
change some habits I have.
One is this: I use the [Esc] key to go back to the start of the last thing I
was doing, or to the previous menu.
I think this might not work so well in windows, as I've occasionally hit the
key while in a windows program and it sometimes jerks me out of the program
completely.
So do I need to clean up my code and NOT use the [esc] key for anything? or
what? Thanks all.
Bill,
When using R:BASE for Windows, you can control the exact behavior of your
form-based menu-driven application and everything in between.
Take a close look at the [Dynamic Caption] tab options of the Form Properties.
You can disable the [x] Caption Button, [Alt+F4], and [Esc] key combination
if you wish. Then, you can control the closing of form by placing a button
with pre-defined EEP or Custom EEP using the CLOSEWINDOW option and more.
Take a close look at the Main Menu included with Running R:BASE Your Way!
(Part 17), or the "RBG91_SAT_Switchboard" external form file included with
R:BASE eXtreme 9.1 Super Advanced Training.

Hope that provides you with some ideas and techniques to manage and control
any form-based menu-driven application.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
