Select DRO without mouse
« on: November 19, 2013, 08:23:42 AM »
Screens in general .... is there a way to highlight and scroll through the DRO's on a screen by using the keyboard only ... no mouse ?  Like tabbing through ?

I have a very simple screen with 5 DRO's that require entered values.
All I need is a monitor, num pad, a few buttons and the dang mouse. ( touch screen would be handy ... maybe next time)

Just wondering.  ::)
Thanks,
Russ :)

You can assign hotkeys to the DRO's, but I'm not sure if you can "tab" through them.

Hi Gerry,
  I see one dro hotkey setting. That key will select whatever dro was last clicked with the mouse.
Do you know of a way to set different keys to different dro's ?

Thanks a bunch,
Russ

Yes, you can assign hotkeys in a screen designer.
