<QUOTE>
Is it possible to call a popup in such a way that the value is selected when the user presses "Tab" instead of "Enter" ?



Thanks

<QUOTE>It just seems a strange request initially - users of Windows will expect tab to take them to the next prompt so effectively what you're saying is "on the gotfocus of the next prompt/button/whatever look at the popup edittable and if nothing is selected select it"? Well obviously complications with tab vs mouse but....



Can you explain a little more iwhy/i you wish to do this in case we can see better ways?

<QUOTE>Acutally i have a form on which when the user enters a new record all 

the textitems with the popoups on them are filled in with default 

values initially. Now all the Popups are called on the Gotfocus event 

of each of these text items so when the control comes in these text 

items i call the popup with the default value already selected by 

passing POP_DEF parameter in the popup defination. I just want 

that if the user is happy with the default selection he can just 

Press tab so that the popup returns the default selected value and 

moves on. At present user has to press enter to select the value.



Thanks,

Prashant

<QUOTE>Prashant,



I thought Sprezz gave you some food for thought on this. This really isn't a simple task if you are going to use the PopUp tool. You would have to modify the source code to do what you want. In my opinion this will be very difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish satisfactory.



Why don't you use a dropdown combobox instead? During the GOTFOCUS event just set the DROPDOWN property to 1. It will auto-select the value in the control and the TAB key will take the end user to the next control. This is a much more intuitive approach.
