I am migrating an application from Adv. Rev. 3.0 to

OI 3.5. In the adv rev. application, after the user

selects a popup option, the cursor moves automatically

to the next prompt with an automatic carriage return.

Has anybody implemented in OI the above

functionality?

P.D.

I tried the 'FOCUS' property but it doesn't function

properly with multipart key forms.

Ruben,

I have no experience with multi-part keys. This is just a long shot:

<code>
rv=Set_Property("SYSTEM", "FOCUS", @Window:".EDITLINE")

</code>

is sometimes better than

<code>
rv=Set_Property(@Window:".EDITLINE", "FOCUS", True$)

</code>

This is something you generally have to do in script - there is not a Quick Event option for it. Execute the popup in the options event and if the user selected a row, populate your control, send a lostfocus event to that control, then set the focus to the next control. If the control was the last of the primary key controls, the row will be read and your form populated. If your popup returns the row id of a multi-part key, simply parse that row id into the controls and follow the above or send your read event directly.

Oystein,

I have experienced some strange problems when using

Set_Property(@Window:".EditLine","FOCUS",TRUE$)

I have never tried the other method that you suggested of

Set_Property("SYSTEM", "FOCUS", @Window:".EDITLINE")

What is the difference between the two?

Greg,

It was Don Bakke who once adviced me to use the latter when a GOTFOCUS event of mine wouldn't run. See this posting. But I don't know if there are other differences.
