I have a form that edits multiple tables and want to override the default tab order if there are more records on the section I am currently editing. I can't seem to find a way to set the focus to a field in an EEP. Some sample code which does this would be greatly appreciated.
Based on the user input, programmatically, you can switch between fields and focus on any field, using the "SET_FOCUS" option of the PROPERTY command as Custom Entry/Exit EEP. In order to accomplish such task, first you will need to assign unique Component IDs for all relevant DB/VAR Edit controls. Then, use the following sample code as an On Exit EEP. -- A very simple example -- On Exit EEP RECALC VARIABLES IF vCheckValue IN (a,d,e,f) THEN PROPERTY ComponentIDa SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' ELSE PROPERTY ComponentIDb SET_FOCUS 'TRUE' ENDIF RETURN Where: vCheckValue is the resulting value based on expression defined in a form. ComponentIDa and ComponentIDb are unique Component IDs assigned to a given DB/VAR edit controls in form. Hope that helps! For more details and examples, refer to R:Docs 9.5.
