Digital Workshop

Hey all,

Just a quick question, i was hoping somone could answer.
The project i am completing uses a login window, and uses a login button as well as a clear button. However, if you say enter your username, and then write a password, hit clear, the text input foucs remains where it is. I was wondering if there was an OpusCode or some other setting, that would make the focus return to the username box. I need this for a few other pages where clear buttons are active, im just using the login page as a small example.

Also while i am in this message, is there anyway of setting the tab order. So that a user could tab through a form rather than clicking.

Thanks alot
Helix

Use this OpusScript

The tab order follows the page object order (i.e. the order downwards in the organizer tree)

Hi Helix,

Welcome to the forum. What version of Opus are you using?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'clear' button? (one would interpret this as making the contents of the input box variable blank/empty)

In your password input box, (or your last input box) that you wish the focus I-beam to disappear, go to the input box's Properties Tab >> Text Input Tab >> and untick the option "Return skips to next text box". That should make the focus I-beam disappear.

If this is not suitable, then as "bwpatric" suggests, you can use some OpusScript to set focus to another object on your clear button. (sometimes a tiny delay works best when changing the focus, using the SetFocus() script.

As usual, Duncan is too quick and beat me to answering the tab order question.

On your "Clear" Button, set the Action to "Go to Page Current (Reset)." This will cause the current Page to reappear, and I'm sure you must have a reset Variables on this screen. Your cursor will be at the proper Text Input Object this way.

Sometimes "simple" is better.

Thanks for the replys demofred, Steve H, Duncan Lilly, and bwpatric.
For those playing at home im on a trial version of Opus Pro XE. and hopefully (crosses fingers) the company will be purchacing the full version shortly.

As for the responces Steve was right in saying the clear button just sets the text boxes to "".

I found that bwpatric's opusScript worked the best, and has solved my problem. Also duncans telling me that the order goes by the tree has left me with a bit of ajusting to do

Thanks all again for the great support.
