How to move cursor to an Inputfield (InputBox)

Fri, 16 Oct 2015 14:53:27 GMT

Hello all.

There's an inputfield (InputBox) in my model in QV.

The data entered in it writes to variable that inserts to SQL code as user login.

We won't be using keyboards or mice to enter any data. Just Symbol scanner.

How is it possible to move cursor to an inputfield as users may enter their data with scanner?

I only can make a trigger to activate an object after openning document and after loading data. But cursor doesn't move to field and i can't enter data.

Have googled many pages but didn't find an answer.

Please, help.

Best regards.

If you look under Setting -> Document Properties -> Triggers.

At the botton, it says variable triggers. Perhaps after they enter the login into the input box and the variable, it could trigger an event?

Hi Tim Tim,

Go to > Document Properties > In Document Event Triggers > At on Open > Add Actions >Layout > and Activate that > Input Box Object > This will help to access input box .

I hope this helps.

Thank you,

Thanks for answering.

I've already tried triggers. It didn't help. After setting a trigger, the input box gets activated, but cursor doesn't move to input field. To enter data you need to click into the field. Trigger just makes it activated and nothing all.
