Hi all,
Are there any ways to write method on form for the keyboard arrow(up, down, left & right)? For example, moving from one field to next on the form? Primarily looking to use arrow down key instead of using tab key or mouse click?
Thanks in advance! Please let me know if I need to clarify further.
You have to judge pros and cons by yourself. I'm just saying that I see many potential issues.
Sometimes you want to do complicated things, because benefits would be much higher. I'm just not sure if this would be the case.
Thanks Martin,
So you are saying that it's better not to write such query. Just leave it the way it is?
I was thinking that it might help our users enter records faster using arror down key.
If it's going to interfere with other business logic then I'll leave it the way it is. Tab key & mouse click will do just fine.
You could overwrite task() method on the form and call some custom logic if, for example, _taskId = #taskArrowDown, (from Task macro library). Nevertheless you would have to be very careful not to break existing logic associated with the key, e.g. navigation in grids or opening lookups (Alt+DownArrow).
Also don't forget that controls are not rendered in the same place every time.
I would need a much better reason to start such an implementation.
