Find Get (ScriptParameter)

[Mif]

My goal is to click in a field, and end up in find mode with the cursor in that field, type a request, and hit enter to perform the find.

So far I have created this script launched by the field:

Set Variable [$Fieldname; Value; (Get (ActiveFieldName))]

Enter Find Mode []

Go to Field [] -"it is here I want it insert $Fieldname"

What should I be doing?... Thanks in advance

Go to Field[] isn't needed since the user was already actively in the field. Enter Find Mode[] doesn't change the active field.

[Mif]

I find if I just use Enter Find Mode [] that the cursor isn't anywhere to be seen.

What am I missing?

I'd like the cursor to be flashing in any field I click on the screen.

What triggers your script?

[Mif]

I've tried making the field a button as well as script triggering based on entry, keystroke and modify.

If the field is a button, then clicking it does NOT enter the field. A script triggered OnObjectEnter should work fine.

Thanks Comment, that worked fine. Another example of the "blinding flash of the obvious". Maybe I wasn't pausing after entering find mode, which made me think that it wasn't entering the field....hmm?
