Gadget() Lost focus

Lima · Post by **Lima** » Mon Dec 02, 2024 9:13 pm

This code block illustrates the situation in which the user removes focus from gadget(0) by placing the cursor in another getgad(), or uses Enter to advance to the next field.

In both situations it is necessary to ensure that the content of gadget(0) is correct.

When the content of gadget(0) is not correct, an informative message should be displayed.

Proposal:

1 Run the program.

2 Place the cursor in gadget(0).

3 Validate with Enter.

4 Analyze the result.

I assume that, as it is, it gives an inconvenient result.

Is it possible to validate the content of gadget(0), display a message to the user and continue execution normally?

Note: If the message is not displayed, there is no problem.

I appreciate all possible help.

Thank you very much mestnyi for your help.

I see that the only correction that seems to be necessary is the one I am proposing now. I did not find any errors in the tests I carried out.

Thank you very much again.

I'm glad it helped you. in your example, if you choose the second gadget, then there are problems))

Having to dismiss a message box every time an input is incorrect is quite disruptive to the workflow. A better approach would be to indicate the error somewhere around the input box, to notify the user of the error, which could be tended to eventually. Here's a simple example:

Code: Select all

#ReturnKey = 1

Procedure FocusLost(K)
  Debug "gadget(0) LostFocus  " + Str(K)
  If GetGadgetText(0) = "Input  0"
    HideGadget(GetGadgetData(0), #False)
  Else
    HideGadget(GetGadgetData(0), #True)
  EndIf
EndProcedure

Procedure FocusGet(N)
  Debug "gadget(0) GetFocus  " + Str(N)
EndProcedure


If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 430, 490, "Event handling example...", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  
  StringGadget(0, 10, 10, 100, 25,"Input  0")    
  
  LoadFont(0, "Arial", 11)
  TextGadget(3, 10, 36, 150, 20, "value not valid!")
  SetGadgetFont(3, FontID(0))
  SetGadgetColor(3, #PB_Gadget_FrontColor, #Red)
  HideGadget(3, #True)
  SetGadgetData(0, 3)
  
  StringGadget(1,10,55,100,25,"Input  1")  
  StringGadget(2,10,100,100,25,"Input  2")
  
  AddKeyboardShortcut(0, #PB_Shortcut_Return, #ReturnKey)
  
  If CreateMenu(0, WindowID(0))
    MenuTitle("Menu")
    MenuItem(1, "Item 1")
    MenuItem(2, "Item 2")
    MenuItem(3, "Item 3")
  EndIf
  
  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    
    Select Event
        
      Case #PB_Event_Gadget
        Select EventGadget()
            
          Case 0
            
            Select EventType()
                
              Case #PB_EventType_LostFocus
                K+1
                FocusLost(K)                
                
              Case #PB_EventType_Focus
                N+1
                FocusGet(N)                
                
            EndSelect                      
            
        EndSelect
        
      Case #PB_Event_Menu
        Select EventMenu()
            
          Case #ReturnKey
            K + 1
            FocusLost(K)            
            
          Case 2 : Debug "Menu item 2 clicked!"
            
          Case 3 : Debug "Menu item 3 clicked!"
            
        EndSelect 
        
    EndSelect
    
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow  
EndIf

Thank you very much TI-994A.
It's an interesting solution that I hadn't thought of and that could be useful in some situations.
