Disabling the enter key

[Lang]

Ok, everything is working just fine. However I want to disable the enter button in my find script so errors don't arise. Is there a way that I can disable the enter button?

Heh, Heh - yea - physically remove it from your keyboard. If that doesn't work, take it apart and use a soldering gun to disable it.

Seriously now - I'm not aware of how to disable it. I'm confused about what you want to do exactly. Are you wanting to prevent certain fields from being entered into when in Find mode? If so, just make the field non-enterable in the field format.

I know one cool thing about FM7 that is new is that you can define a layout field to be enterable in browse mode, but not Find mode and vice-versa. This feature is not available in previous versions.

Is there a setfocus command? Or a command that makes it so when you press enter it only has an effect on one button?

More information, please.

What errors, exactly, are you concerned about?

Sounds to me like you are trying to keyboard-enable FMP, that is, tie the enter key to one particular button, such as the button "in focus" (which, unfortunately, does not exist in FMP5, nor in FMP7, for that matter).

If you tell us exactly what the enter button does that you don't like, we may offer some workarounds.

Maybe you can find a plugin to change the enter key as tab key.

(FM7 can done it without plugin)

If the enter key function as tab key in find mode, then you can disable the enter function.
