QUESTION:
If a user presses an alphanumeric key in a numeric window (form_datatype is set to a value between 0 and 8), can I be informed of this?
ANSWER:
You can trap the KEY procedure. If the keyvalue is below 255 it is a value from the ASCII table. Values above 255 are functionkeys.
This is an example of how you can implement that:
Object oForm1 is a Form
Set Size to 13 85
Set Location to 41 95
Set Form_DataType to 0
//AB-StoreStart
Procedure Key Integer iKeyVal
Integer iDecSep
Get_Attribute DF_DECIMAL_SEPARATOR To iDecSep
If (iKeyVal >= 48 And iKeyVal <= 57 Or iKeyVal = iDecSep Or iKeyVal > 255) Begin
Forward Send Key iKeyVal
End
Else Begin
Send Info_Box "Numeric values only!"
End
End_Procedure // Key
//AB-StoreEnd
End_Object // oForm1
