Maintain field focus

[ssseeesss]

Is there a way to maintain the cursor position in a field when click on a portal button?

The only way I could think of is to set a OnObjectExit script trigger to remember the current position.

I believe that is the best method. You can set a global variable $$position with

Get ( ActiveSelectionStart ). But what are you doing in the portal row and what is the script you are activating? You may need to capture more than position in the field in the portal if your portal button navigates you away from that parent record or portal row.

But you show vs. 8.5. If you have moved up, you might want to update your profile. :wink2:

I figured out an alternative solution without using trigger.

I laid out a series of transparent buttons on each portal row and used insert calculated result [getNthrecord(...)] script step to insert text.

It worked great. You won't lose current cursor position.

The only downside is that you can't scroll the portal.

Huh? Did you perhaps mean next to each portal row?
