Great to see something something is possible, thx for sharing. Is this also possible for function keys? I would like to support function keys on barcodescan devices.
Hi @Liam_Sawrey,
I want to use your WebTextFieldEnterKey to set focus on another field if the user presses ENTER. On the EnterKey event I just told it to set the focus on the next field. I can see the focus being moved but the app also presses the only button I got on the page which is to return to the previous form. I tried to set focus on the first field on startup but same thing. I also tried to put Return True but it told me that can not add a return. How can I prevent it from firing up the button to return?
I guess that button is a ādefaultā button. If you remove this default setting, then Return should not fire that button.

thank you @AlbertoD. Forgot about that. The default for the button was on. Works good now

Well thatās special. I like the features and plugins available for ādatatablesā, Iāve really wanted a truly in-line editable table, Graffiti Suite provides more or less ābubbleā editing. It seems sluggish and a bit awkward (but perhaps better than any alternative in Xojo today) Iām presenting a web app interface to people who live in Excel most of the time. If you canāt easily update a cell and/or use keyboard navigationā¦my users wonāt be super happy. Most of the stuff Iām doing in Xojo is more or less the ādefaultā update of launching a form via dialog box to fetch user input. But if you want to update a number of rows (say more than ten) constantly popping open and closed dialog boxes is tediousā¦and eating up screen real estate with update fields is fasterā¦but still isnāt the desired user experience. Users can āseeā the data they want to change and want to click right on that data and change it. I wonder how difficult it is to embed a ādatableā in a Xojo App. Ultimately when a user clicks sayā¦ Saveā¦ I need Xojo to be able to read out the rows/cells and ādo some stuffā ā so the work doesnāt end with āDisplayā. Tried lots of workaroundsā¦hidden Text input fields that echo into a Xojo listbox cell etc. You get no cursor when āeditingā the cell. (Iām sure the cursor displays in the hidden textbox).
GraffitiGrid with Editable = True and AutoEdit = True Behaves largely like a spreadsheet, including keyboard navigation, depending on what cell editors youāre using for your columns.
