Non-Editable Columns

sabzam

Dear All,

I have created a form with a non-Enabled column. Stil the cursot instead of going "over" it simply stops. Is it possible to let the cursor know to go the the column after the non-enabled columns?

Use the property NextControl for the TextBox. Specify the ID of the next control it should move to. This will allow you to have the cursor skip fields in the form.

Hi Sabzam,

Have you tried setting the NextControl property in the previous to the ID of the next control

Apologies I must admit that this has been a very simplistic question. Another STUPID QUESTION, is it possible to tell him to go to next line or next record in the Next Control Property?

Hi Sabzam,

Use the nextcontrol property also for this e.g. if you wanted to enter item and quantity only on a sales order then set the nextcontrol property of item to quantity and the nextcontrol of the quantity to the item and it will automatically go to the next line.

bonus info: if your item #'s are all the same length.
set max length to your length and set autoenter to yes.

then it will automatically move to the next field once entered.

works great on sales orders. we make a point of keeping our item numbers 5 digits. 1 less keystroke per line sure adds up over a year!
