Hi,
I like to know if it is possible to change the ID number of a field. Here is the

reason why. I'm using TAB ON RETURN on some field entry and on the last entry I

would like the focus to go to a button that is not the next field. It seems that

TAB ON RETURN use the ID number to get to the next field, so if I could change

the ID number this would work. Or is there an easier way to do this?
TIA

Hi,

It seems that TAB ON RETURN use the ID number to get to the next field

I think that is the fld number and not the id of the fld

Here is a little stack with three flds and one btn

Best regards

Hi.

Could you:

Code: Select all

on tabKey
  doYourThing
end tabKey

on returnInField
   tabkey
end returnInField

The order in which controls are navigated on the card depends on the LAYER.
Focus on the lowest layered control (eg 1) and tab, it will go to the next higher layered control (eg 2).
Typically on creation each new control will have a sequentially higher layer, as well as a sequentially higher id, which is why you might have thought the id determined the order, as in your first post.
