Function key F6

[Corelius]

I have to change the function keys for our application. A handicap user can�t get Ctrl+F1 to Ctrl+10, therefore we want to use F1-F10 function keys. Has been the functions keys in our old application (Lotus Approach).

The script within the onkey event works perfect for all function keys except F6. This function key jumps to next region of the form. It seems to be that the OnKey event will not fire.
This is my onkey event script, what�s wrong with the function key F6. I couldn�t find any hint on this board or Alphapedia.

Re: Function key F6

Did you mean to have

case a_user.key.value = "{F6}"

and not

case a_user.key.value = "{^F6}"

all the other keys tested are preceeded by ^.

Sorry yes, actually we use {^F6}, but we would like to change to {F6} and the other too (F1-F10).

Thanks

Re: Function key F6

I can't trap F6 in Version 11 either. Have submitted a bug report. You may have to supply a button instead of using F6, since it's unlikely vers 10 will be patched.

Re: Function key F6

Thank you for your help.

Neither V10 nor V11 are working. V11 is just evaluation copy, because we want to update within next 2 month.
So I tried to change US keyboard layout, but unfortunately without any success.

At the moment we use AltGr+F6 (F1-F10), because this key combination is not so hard to get for him.

A bug makes no sense, when they can’t reproduce the fail function.

Re: Function key F6

Tech support was able to reproduce the behavior and I'm advised that the fix will be in the next patch for vers 11.

Wow! Tom, thanks for your help. I really very glad get this news.

I think we will buy Version 11 as quick as possible.
