Hi Rick, Just following up this message which I had kept. The thing is that, for the lady, Carol, I wrote the app for, she says her brother's NumPad doesn't have a NumLock, but now it looks like the number keys on that NumPad don't have the normal alternate functions like normal Numpads do. So, now what? Smile
Take care, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rick Thomas via Talk Sent: Saturday, April 25, 2015 5:29 AM To: 'Window-Eyes Discussion List' Subject: Num Lock Hi: OK, so we can either set the applications key function using auto hot key or use shift and f10 and that is ok. Now, why not have a WE setting in the control panel to lock the num lock setting and perhaps a hot key combo to toggle it? Using the f10 key would then become the default WE Applications key and the num lock could be toggled easily or set in the WE Control Panel. Just a thought on what seems an easy fix to a potential major headache for WE Users who get confused with the newer keyboards not having these keys. WE should work with modern technologies out of the box and this would eliminate these 2 problems me thinks. Searching for non-standard modern or outdated keyboards is not a good thing to force your clients into having to do to use your product when it is not necessary at all with minimal programming effort. Neither is having clients required to load up and use someone elses software like auto hot key - they should be able to buy the product, turn it on and use it - not turn it on and hope they can figure out some way to "fix" it before even using it. At least from the prior postings this would seem to be the case. Does this make sense or am I missing something?
