Tabbing Issue

 

How can I do tabbing using 'ENTER' key between clusters? e.g. Front panel having few clusters and each cluster has only one control, now I want to tab between controls of clusters by 'ENTER' key.


Generally tabbing between clusters demands three steps, assume that tab (focus key) is at one of the controls of cluster so,


  1. Press 'Ctrl + Up' to get out of cluster (Means we need to set 'PlatMods=[Shift=False, Ctrl=True, Cmd=False, Opt=True]' and 'Mods=[Num Pad=False, Menu Key=True]' and 'Vkey=Up' and 'Char=0' in 'Key Down?' event of the Event Structure.)

  2. Press 'Tab' Key to jump at next cluster (Means Vkey=ASCII' and 'Char=9')

  3. Finally Press 'Ctrl + Down' to get in to cluster (Means we need to set 'PlatMods=[Shift=False, Ctrl=True, Cmd=False, Opt=True]' and 'Mods=[Num Pad=False, Menu Key=True]' and 'Vkey=Down' and 'Char=0' in 'Key Down?' event of the Event Structure.)


Should I perform this three step operation by hitting only 'ENTER' key?


Moreover, is it possible to generate User Event using 'Generate User Event.vi'?

Some days ago, a question about tabbing with the Enter key was posted in the forum. It was not related to clusters and I didn't follow it in detail. Therefore I don't know if the suggested solution is applicable to controls in clusters. But it may at least give you some advice.

Just one question : Why do you use clusters if each of them has only one control ? Future enhancements ?

Cluster has four controls but they are disabled for some reson.
