Set focus and select entire field contents

Post by RICHARD RUTA »

Is there a way to set focus and select the entire contents of a field when the field is changed? This is a barcoding application where I'd like to keep receiving and replacing the contents of a field without requiring the user to place the cursor or select all contents of a field.

Assuming that your application automatically submits the barcode upon scanning, you would need to put the following into "onload" in your screen properties

getObj("TextBox1").select()

where TextBox1 is textbox (or other widget) containing the field you wish to be focused.

Let me know if this solves your issue.

Thanks.
