If a user doesn't have a mouse, how would he / she interact with multiple OptionGadget's?
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(1,10,10,200,200,"",#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
OptionGadget(1,10,10,50,20,"Option 1")
OptionGadget(2,10,30,50,20,"Option 2")
OptionGadget(3,10,50,50,20,"Option 3")
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

//edit:
I simplified and improved the code, and moved it to the
"Tricks 'n' Tips" section.

Ouch. No native support of the tab or left / right keys? That's bad...

Yes, unfortunately PB has no built-in support of up/down or left/right keys for changing the selected option within a group.
The TAB key shouldn't do that, but pressing TAB should leave the whole option group (remembering which option was selected), and activate another control.
I've extended my above code example, so that it demonstrates this behaviour.

Mmmm. On 5.60 x64 I can tab through the options, until one of them is selected (with the space bar), then it no longer works... Bug? Or is the LTS ahead of the non-LTS this time?

The newest
final LTS version (which is PB 5.44) is not ahead of the newest final non-LTS version (which is PB 5.60).
However, I was talking about a change in the
brand new version PB 5.4
5 LTS
Beta 1, which is just a few days old.
In the post to which I've linked in my previous message, it reads:
[...] all the changes will be transfered on the 5.61 version.
In other words, the regarding new changes have not yet been implemented in version 5.60.
BTW: It seems to be fixed now on Linux, too.
