Enter Key to Select Item in List Box?
Quote from vwatson on January 10, 2020, 6:51 amThis seems like pretty standard behavior, but I can't find a way to make the Enter key select the highlighted item in a listbox.
I have the code working with a dbl-click action, but I'd like the same code/subroutine to execute if the enter key is pressed on an item.
Am I missing something?

If "[FocusedObject]" "=" "YourListBox"
GoSub "Subrutine of dbl-click"
Endif

Quote from vwatson on January 12, 2020, 5:32 pmI added the code indicated by rasl in the actions section of a button, and set the button off the page.
Then in the General section, for Shortcut Key, Enter isn't listed, but I pressed the Enter key and it picked that key up.
It seems like an unorthodox approach, but it works. Not sure why the Enter key functionality wasn't built into the listbox.

However, as I write this, I do see an advantage to a button outside the work area when you want the Enter key to perform different actions depending on what object is in focus (or not in focus). Nice.
