Autokeys

[sergran]

Hello everyone, I need your aito. On a form, I would like to shift the focus from a combo to one another via the directional arrow ON the keyboard. I read that you have to use the macro Autokeys but I could not figure out how. You could give me some help?
thanks

Interesting, I have use of cursor movement keys when I first open firm, but goes away after mouse click. Comes back after use Tab key.

Form opens with focus on a combobox. Right cursor key moves to next control.

thanks
Hello

I am saying I have use of direction arrow keys without any code. It is native behavior in the form.

I looked, did not find any references for autokeys macro to control cursor keys.

Focus.zipUnfortunately I have a problem in the mask that I enclose in the db. I can move only thanks to the Tab key, but not with the arrows ... I mean to say you'd know how I could fix it?

Perhaps the answer you are looking for is not in AutoKeys but in the TAB properties of the controls.

If you look at a control's properties and click "Other", you will see two options for the TAB properties. You can adjust whether or not the control will receive focus using the Tab Stop property and you can adjust the order the control will receive focus by adjusting the Tab Index. Tab Index begins with 0.

Edit: I was typing while you posted. I guess, never mind

No excuse, I have not explained well ... in the mask attached, with the tab move the focus from one to the other combo but I would get the same thing with the arrow keys. is it possible?

[ItsMe]

I imagine you would. That is what June7 is explaining in post # 4

I use Tab and Shift + Tab for data entry into forms myself.

[sergran]

Yes, but I was looking for a way to use the directional arrows

The arrows already work. Review earlier posts.
