Datawindow Question.
We have added code in our application to automatically filter the dddw list of choices for a given column as you move from row to row in a datawindow. Basically we intercept the dropdown event and display our own custom dropdown that applies filters to the standard dwc based on values in the current row.
One issue has always been that users could click a keyboard accelerator to select a value in the dropdown without displaying the dropdown. This meant that users could select values that were invalid for that particular row. I have written code to handle that in the pbm_dwnkey event so we perform this selection ourselves but only select valid value for that row.
My question are related to non english keyboards:
1) Does the shortcut/accelerator feature even work for non ascii keyboards? (if so this will not be an issue for me).
2) If it does work how do I map the value passed into pbm_dwnkey to the actual character printed on the keyboard.
Please forgive me if these are stupid questions!
