SET INSERT ON Or SET INSERT OFF Javier, Javier Valencia, PE O: 913-829-0888 H: 913-397-9605 C: 913-915-3137 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J. Sinclair Sent: Monday, July 23, 2012 7:32 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Insert vs Overwrite command or property? Hi all, Is there a property or command that I can use inside an application or an eep that would have the affect of changing the typing mode from insert to overwrite or vice versa? There are times when the user is moving up and down within a scrolling region using the F7 and F8 keys and the field is only supposed to have 1 character, such as Y or N. To save key strokes, I would like to have the option of having the user hit just 1 key stroke, either Y or N to overwrite the current value rather than having to delete the current character and then type Y or N. Then, when they leave that field, I would like to switch back to the Insert method of typing. Is that possible? Thanks Mike
