Hi, in my Web App if a user holds the Tab key down and it repeats, the control focus repeatedly moves between WebEditFields but keeps on going in a loop and doesn’t stop. If the user clicks on the page or a control or presses ESC or other keys, nothing happens. The only way to get out of this seems to be to close the app. This is just bad. Does anyone have any ideas how to stop this from happening? The UI needs the user to be able to press Tab. Any help gratefully received!
Regards,
Eric
There’s not much you can do about repeating keys. I suspect the looping will eventually stop, but that they are getting queued up.
Thanks Greg, I suspected as much. I guess if my users keep getting this I can get them to change the key repeat delay on their Mac/PC. Not great but at least it’s a workaround. Thanks for your help.
Yeah, the problem is that we don’t control how key events are fired nor how focus is invoked. All of that is part of the OS and the browser itself.
