[Xerte] default button

[Julian Tenney]

Selection.setFocus(myButtonID) I think.

 

You can listen for rootIcon.onKeyDown to listen for keypresses, so you
can have an event responses for y and n and the yes / no buttons as
well. Being able to define the action key would be useful - I'll look at
that next week.

Thanks Julian, that explains. 

Is it possible to set the focus to a certain button? And is it possible
to make a button react to a certain key pressed, like when I have two
buttons, yes and no, and want the user to be able to press Y or N
(besides making a third response to catch that)?

It's built in accessibility. It will only respond to keys whilst it has
the focus. When you click elsewhere, the focus moves away from the
button and it doesn't respond to keypresses. All the interaction
responses can be controlled with the keyboard.

Hi,

 

I've got a perpetual button ('Menu') in my Entry Frame. For some reason,
when I have used the button (just once), this button will also get
pressed when I hit the space bar. As I have not found yet how to let a
button react to key responses I was quite surprised...

Does anyone know what caused this behaviour? It disappeats after using a
text entry response, but after hitting the button again it reacts to the
space bar again.

 

TIA

 

Elly
