Intercepting Funciton Key

Post by KristaDuff »

Is there a way to intercept a function key on a particular screen? I do not want to do this all the time, but sometimes on a screen I want to prevent the F4 key from triggering a prompt window from opening. I have found it difficult to interrupt the F key activity and am wondering if it is even possible to do.

There is no way to intercept a function key that I can think of... An individual widget might be able to intercept it in the 'onkeydown' event, but I can't see a way to do it for the whole screen.

Keep in mind that Genie is a 5259 emulator. We typically expect changes to stuff like this to be made in the DDS for the display files.
