Show a Cursor in a Combobox

Show a Cursor in a Combobox

Postby Rick Lipkin » Mon Jan 23, 2017 4:13 pm

To All

<Tab> or <Enter> through a form, is there a way to show some kind of focus or cursor when the data entry hits a combobox ? If I manually click on the first combobox, all the rest of the combobox's show a square circle when you <tab> or <enter> into the box .. but until you click on a combobox, there is no indication where the cursor is ?

The first screen shot shows no ( box ) cursor .. if I click in any Combobox .. then I get a square cursor .. see screenshot 2. I am using FWH 1612 .. Any Ideas ?

No Box or cursor indication even though the cursor is located in the Time Out box.

With Cursor after you once click into any combobox

Rick,

Look at "Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys" in this link https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14202/windows-7-make-keyboard-easier-to-use
I think it's what you want.

Try adding this to ON INIT clause of the ACTIVATE DIALOG command:

Code: Select all  Expand view
oDlg:PostMsg( WM_KEYDOWN, VK_TAB )


Works fine here. I can see the square cursor when TABbing to a combobox.
