Yep, even clicking on the button does not pull focus. Is there a reason why you changed to using them? I gave up using them years and years ago. I remember asking once for a concrete example of why a button that doesn't pull focus would be a useful thing to have, and no one gave me an example good enough that I've felt I needed to use one.

A control does not have to be in the tab order to be able to get focus. My hack seems to work. The button still may not be getting focus but apparently the attempt pulls focus from the data entry control so the variable is updated.

You can put a variable text box with zero width after the last entry and set focus to that in the first line of your eep and the edit buffer will update the control then properly. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dennis > McGrath > Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2014 4:06 PM > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - speed button issue > > I have switched to speed buttons on my form. > > > > The problem I am running into is that clicking on a speed button > apparently does not pull focus. > > This prevents the variable in my data entry control from updating. > > > > I've solved the problem by pulling the focus in the button click eep so > it works like a regular button. > > PROPERTY btnAddPost SET_FOCUS TRUE > > > > Am I missing something?
