You really need to be clearer on what you are trying to do.

When you press a button you want to create a blank space?
Where?
Or are you wanting the Button Name to turn blank?

not sure what your after.

Hmm Sorry if it's not clear before. Oke this is the scenario :

User will use some touch screen monitor or not use keyboard anymore. So we create a panel that include alphabet and some control Button such as 'C'(clear) button and space button. The problem is, on the space button when we click it didn't create any space/blank space on the textbox or display.

I use :
PadKeyPressed(' ');

On Onpush session. But not work.

Sounds like the "space" button is not configured correctly.

Can you tell me more specific about 'not configure correctly'? I have tried but till now no effect. Another button success only the space button.

I am not very such why something like this is required. But you can put a textbox on top of the button and in the sourceexpression as a space (' ') in the textbox property, adjust the backcolor, etc. properties of the textbox (similar to the button properties).

Check if this works for you.

Hi Chn,

What do you mean by put a textbox on top of the button? When the button is clicked, will appear on the textbox.
on the panel there are 3 object :

2 textboxes (staffid & password)
1 group of button (Alphabet from 'A' to 'Z', Clear Button and Space Button)

For example, user click button 'A' (we assume it is on staff id textbox), on the textbox will show 'A'. Then user click space button and click 'C' Button so on the textbox will show 'A C'.

Do you want something like this? (see screenshot)

what type of variable is the parameter for the "PadKeyPressed" function ? I suspect it is a CODE variable, so any spaces at the front are being removed, resulting in you passing nothing instead of a space.

maya-chan

Hai Mberger,

Yes you're right. I suspect it too, but I don't know to change it with another type as long for another button (alphabet and clear button) it's correct.

Ok, I got it..

I tried with three buttons (ButtonA,B and space) on a form, with a variable (Text1) as sourceexpression to a textbox.

Button A - OnPush:
Text1 := 'A'; CurrForm.UPDATE();
Button Space - OnPush:
Text1 := Text1 + ' '; CurrForm.UPDATE();
Button B - OnPush:
Text1 := Text1 + 'B'; CurrForm.UPDATE();

It worked as desired, the text box shows the value 'A B' in my case. Is this what you are trying to do here?
