PBv12.1, build 7055
PFC based app
Oracle 12C

My app has two command buttons - 
   If you click them with the mouse, they work.
   If you tab over to them, the highlight outline is present, but when you hit the Enter key, nothing happens!


What in the WORLD could be causing this???


Thanks<

Hi Olan;

  That is because MS-Windows is waiting for you to hit the SPACE Bar instead when the CB has focus.  ;-)

Now that's just plain EMBARASSING!    :)

Thanks, Chris, especially for your very quick reply!


I guess there's code in them thar CMD buttons where the ENTER key works to activate the button.

Thanks Again,

Olan

If a command button has the "Default" checkbox checked, the Enter key will trigger it. The "Cancel" checkbox lets you hit Escape to trigger a button.
