Continue Script with return key - possible?

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

I've created a Find Layout and have a script that allows specific finds. Right now, the user has to press the 'Enter' key on the calculator part of the keypad to continue the script. Ordinarily, in Find Mode, pressing 'Return' will perform the find. Is there a way to change the behavior of the return key? I want it to continue the script/find the record rather than doing nothing, as it does at the moment.

Help!

are you saying that your "enter" and "return" keys are producing different results? - i.e.: "Enter" continues while "Return" does nothing?

Does you script Pause in Find Mode - if so then the next line of the script should be "Resume" and enter or return should work.

Hi! Welcome to FM Forums! :wink2:

Right-click the field and check your Field Control > Behavior. It probably has the RETURN checked. If you uncheck it, it should work as expected. Macs and Windows handle these keys differently as well...

Thanks! About an hour or so after I posted, I realized that there were two pauses in my script which meant that the user would have to hit the 'return' button twice. It's probably worth investing in FMP Advanced to get the Script Debugger . . .
