Allow selecting options in an OptionGadget() with the arrow keys

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

Allow selecting options in an OptionGadget() with the arrow keys

Post by Quin »

In PB 5.61's changelog, this is written:
- Fixed: Fix a lot of bugs. Notable bug fixes are prototype and quad return were broken, MacBook Pro crash, and optionGadget on Windows now support keyboard.
However, this is very much not the case. LittleJohn posted code to achieve this behavior in your apps for a specific group of radio buttons, but it would be really nice if this support could be built into PB. As it is it is currently impossible for me to change indentation options in the IDE with a screen reader because of not being able to select options with the arrow keys. I'd almost call this a bug rather than a feature request...

Not being able to use arrows to select radio buttons is why I generally avoid using it.
It would be nice to be able to use it properly.
