Re: Disable [Esc] on Forms

[Sami Aaron]

Rob -   I don't believe you can prevent a user from pressing ESC to exit a form, so you have to do something else.   Here's what I do -   I set up the DONE button to execute Button.EEP USING 1 I set up the CANCEL button to execute Button.EEP USING 99   -- Button.EEP SET VAR fButton = .%1 IF fButton = 1 THEN  --User clicked on DONE so it will save the record   SET VAR fFormDirty = 'N'   IF (ISTAT('FORM_DIRTY_FLAG')) = 1 THEN     SET VAR fFormDirty = 'Y'     SAVEROW   ENDIF ENDIF CLS CLOSEWINDOW RETURN   If the user clicks the Done button, then the value of fButton is "1" otherwise, if they click Cancel or press the ESC, it remains "0".     SET VAR fButton INTEGER = 0 EDIT USING formname WHERE yada yada IF fButton = 0 THEN    --User Pressed ESC   run some dialog or something to confirm whether or not they wanted to cancel or continue   IF they want to cancel THEN     SET VAR fButton = 99   ELSE     SET VAR fButton = 1 ENDIF IF fButton = 99 THEN   run your cancel routine ENDIF IF fButton = 1 THEN   run your "done" command file ENDIF   Sami   ----------------------------------------------------------- Sami Aaron Software Management Specialists 19312 W 63rd Terr Shawnee KS  66218 913-915-1971 http://www.softwaremgmt.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Rob Vincent To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 04, 2002 6:55 PM Subject: Disable [Esc] on Forms Greetings Guru's   In order to correctly process a form, I need to force the user to click a button and confirm that they are [Done] or that they want to [Cancel].   When clicked, each button has a very specific .eep that runs to perform various calculations.   I'm finding that the form can be exited by pressing the [Esc] key which by-passes the routines I've written and popups the generic dialog for Save, Discard or Cancel giving the user a false impresion that things are as they should be (Not!).   Any way to disable the [Esc] from exiting a form? I've toyed around with SET KEYMAP, but [Esc] doesn't appear to be a valid key.   Are there any inherent problems with attempting this, or is there a better to go about it?   As always, I appreciate everyone's input.   - Rob Vincent Dearborn Heights, Michigan
