ComboBoxGadget TAB problem

Hi all,

Having a little problem with ComboBoxGadget() in edit mode, the code beneath should show the problem, if you use the TAB key to get into the ComboBoxGadget(), then use the keyboard or mouse to select items of type in new value, you'll see the thing work (cool), but try TAB out of ComboBoxGadget and it fails.

I have tried adding a shortcut key, in the same way as the Enter/return is done, but this fails. Have not found an answer in any code possted here yet, help please.

So my question, how can I TAB or Shift-TAB out of a ComboBoxGadget to another gadget or even just detect that this key has been pressed would help.

If OpenWindow(0, (GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CXSCREEN)-300)/2,(GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYSCREEN)-300)/2,300,300, #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget, "ComboBoxGadget-Test")

CreateGadgetList(WindowID())

TextGadget(3,5,40,200,17,"Hello")

StringGadget(5, 5, 65, 200, 20, "testing TAB")

ComboBoxGadget(4, 5, 5, 100, 120, #PB_ComboBox_Editable)
AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Apples")
AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Bannas")
AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Cheries")
AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Grapes")
AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Pears")

AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Return, 10)
;;;;; AddKeyboardShortcut(4, #PB_Shortcut_Tab, 11) ; Not working, should not work!!!

Repeat
Event = WaitWindowEvent()

Select Event
Case #PB_Event_Gadget

Select EventGadgetID()
Case 4
SetGadgetText(3, GetGadgetText(4))
; Something
EndSelect

Case #PB_Event_Menu ; We only have one shortcut
SetGadgetText(5, GetGadgetText(4)+"[State="+Str(GetGadgetState(4))+"]")

EndSelect

Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

EndIf

End

Thanks
Jose

This works here:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0,(GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CXSCREEN)-300)/2,(GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYSCREEN)-300)/2,300,300,#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget, "ComboBoxGadget-Test")
  If CreateGadgetList(WindowID())
    TextGadget(3,5,40,200,17,"Hello")
    StringGadget(5, 5, 65, 200, 20, "testing TAB")
    ComboBoxGadget(4, 5, 5, 100, 120, #PB_ComboBox_Editable) 
      AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Apples")
      AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Bannas")
      AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Cheries")
      AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Grapes")
      AddGadgetItem(4, -1, "Pears")
  EndIf
  AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Return, 10)
  AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Tab, 11) ; Not working, should not work!!!
  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    Select Event
      Case #PB_Event_Gadget
        Select EventGadgetID()
          Case 4
            SetGadgetText(3, GetGadgetText(4))
            ; Something 
        EndSelect
      Case #PB_Event_Menu ; We only have one shortcut
        Select EventMenuID()
          Case 10
            SetGadgetText(5, GetGadgetText(4)+"[State="+Str(GetGadgetState(4))+"]")
          Case 11
            If GetFocus_()=GadgetID(5)
              ActivateGadget(4)
            Else
              ActivateGadget(5)
            EndIf
        EndSelect            
    EndSelect
  Until Event=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf
End

Maybe a bit tricky? You'll tell us. Bye,

Thanks El_Choni, that works just fine.
Is this not meant to happen automatically anyway?
I do not have to do this for any other gadget.
