I have an app that requires the user to enter a number of fields, select combo box items, etc. I would like the tab key to move the user to the next object as they are filling out the 'form'. How do I control which field the tab key will highlight?

The application consists of, among other things, creating new cards for each event. Each new card (for a new event) contains a number of combo buttons to enable the user to select from the given choices within the combo buttons. All of these combo buttons are part of a background group, so that when...

Thanks, BvG... now I understand why it didn't recognize the field in the "Summary" stack... it was not the 'default' stack. So, I assume I can either make it the default stack, continueing to make each stack default as required... flopping back and forth. OR, I can put in the full description, (whic...

2 substacks: "Detail" and "Summary" Detail contains one card for each entry. Summary contains only 1 card. I want to read a card from Detail and then add a field content from the Detail record into a field in the Summary. When Summary opens, in an openCard handler (note, ALL of the following is done...

Never mind... I found the errors...

I have a sub-stack with one card called "Summary". The 'home' stack has a button as follows: on mouseUp open stack "Summary" end mouseUp In the stack script of sub-stack, I have a preOpenStack handler as follows: on preOpenCard global currentYear convert the date to dateItems put item 1 of it into c...

I want to use the toolbar... Malte, still confused. Let's say I have 3 buttons, A, B and C, all located in group 1024. I decide I want to add button D to group 1024. You said to select the group (by clicking on one of the 3 buttons), then select 'edit group'. That enables me to edit any member of th...

How do I add a new object to an EXISTING group (and therefore still keep the script that went with the existing group)?

I want to have a "Previous Record" and "Next Record" button on a background for a stack. I know that if I just do a plain: on mouseUp go previous card -- or go next card for the "Next Record" button end mouseUp The stack will wrap to the last card if I'm on the first card of the stack. But I don't w...

on mouseDown local x=totalDistance,y=totalDuration multiply x by 3600 divide y by x set the label of me to y end mouseDown totalDistance and totalDuration are both numbers. The error message is: Type multiply: destination has a bad format (numeric?) Object TotalSpeed Line multiply x by 3600 Hint mou...

I need to make sure an entered field is numeric... here's current code: on mouseDown local x ask question "How many total miles for this ride? (nn.nn)" put it into x repeat while (x < 0 or x > 999.9) ask warning "Enter value between .1 and 999.9" end repeat Set the Label of me to x end mouseDown The...
