Hello.
I am wondering if there is a way to fire the ActionPerformed Event (or any event, really), when the enter key is clicked while a button component is Focused (by having been tabbed to, such as from a text entry box).
It seems logical to me that pressing enter while I have a button in focus, should fire off an event -- but it doesn't seem to fire ActionPerformed.
I think it's space bar that does what you want, across all OSes.
Oops, forgot the answer.
Add this to one of the key handlers:
if event.keyCode == event.VK_ENTER:
print "enter was pressed!"
Don't write your logic in the handler, write it in a project script. Call it from both actionPerformed and this handler.
I'm not super committed to the enter key.
I just didn't even think to try the space key, LOL.
Is there a way to interact with a lot of different components in the same project script? I grab data from 4 different fields, process it, send it to SQL, and then reset them.
I suppose I can send in the Event object, but even that wouldn't work if the events are called by different components. Maybe I could pass in the root container, and work relative to that? Or pass in each component.
Yeah, you'll have to pass in whatever you need. There's some commonality, maybe the container, maybe all the components, that both scripts would be referencing anyway.
It does, actually. The event object in Vision always has a source property, which is the component or window that fired the event. In new-style extension methods that don't have event, that is handled by self.
Just define the least common denominator pieces as project library function arguments, and place them in the call at the origin.
