Can anyone help, how to trap function keys like F1,F2,F3,... in a form?
My basic idea is to run a user defined form action or call another form
when a application user press a specific function key in the form.
In other words, I want to over ride the built-in functionality of
function keys provided by R:Base.
Rehan,
Here's how ...
01. Start R:BASE eXtreme 9.5 (32/64), Build: 9.5.4.30821 or higher ...
02. CONNect the database and open the form in Form designer ...
For Example:
RRBYW18 > Forms > SalesTransactions > Design ...

03. Now define a Custom Form Action (procedure) that will be assigned
a Shortcut Key, such as [F12] to print report.

04. Once the Custom Form Action is defined, right-click and select
the Shortcut Key
