F3 key intercept

HenningTh

Hi all
A little problem - does anyone know how to catch the info that the user just pressed the F3-button. I dont want to interrupt the standard behaviour, only to do some checking (and block a button when it occurs).

I am not interested in intercepting when they are inserting new records at the bottom of the list form just using the <enter> key - only when F3 is in use and I must know this before anything else is proccessed.

Appreciate help on this as I cannot find anything about doing this.

Well, codeunit 1 won't be of any help since there is no onglobalbuttonpress function.
Next, I think you should focus more on the onnewrecord(belowxrec) trigger.
and capture/check/block the functionality there.

Hi,

In a specific form you can add a menu entry with F3 as shortcut. This would overwrite the standard processing, however.

I would highly discourage this practice. You are changing core system functionality. This reduces predictability from an end-user standpoint, hampers training, and introduces an unsupported solution, among other issues which I'm sure others can list.


HenningTh, what is it you are trying to capture? I would explore Sog's advice; you should be able to capture the information you need through the xRec variable, the OnNewRecord trigger, and possibly the OnValidate trigger.
