Editbox "Enter" as an Event

[kaan]

Hi,

In one of the dialogboxes i prepare, there is an editbox where user enters a string and then clicks the "Load Button" to load files in dataportal

But for the users it is not desirable that they enter the string and then they click a button. They want to just press "Enter" after writing the string in the editbox.

Is there a way to trigger an event when "Enter" is pressed in Editbox?

thanks in advance

Hello Kaan!

You can define the button as a default button with the properties  ButtonType = 4 - OK and Default = 1 - Yes. Then all 'Enter' are treated like a Click on the button.

Hi i really dont get your answer.

I got 2 elements, EditBox and Button.

I have set the button to type - 4 and default -Yes. When in editbox i press enter, it triggers the OnClick event of the button, but it closes/terminates the dialog box.

I got Diadem 2017, your post is years old, did it changed the behaviour in this time?

Thanks for help

Hi,

Digging an old topic.

The trick from Twigeater works with one editbox/button, thanks!

What if I have several editboxes, and I want to be able to press enter in every editboxes, with different behavior for each editbox?

Thanks,

Jacques
