Hello,

Thanks in advance.

Hi Markus,
Have you tried using DCHOTKEY?
You could set xbeK_F10 to something like {|| .T. }
Hope it helps
Bobby

This will do it:
Code: Select all
#INCLUDE "dcdialog.ch"
#INCLUDE "appevent.CH"
FUNCTION Main()
LOCAL GetList[0], dDate := Date(), oMenuBar, oMenu
DC_ReadGuiHandler( {|a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h|MyHandler(a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h)} )
DCMENUBAR oMenuBar
DCSUBMENU oMenu PROMPT 'Menu' PARENT oMenuBar
DCMENUITEM 'Menu Item' PARENT oMenu
@ 0,0 DCGET dDate
DCREAD GUI
RETURN Nil
* ---------
PROC appsys ; return
* ---------
STATIC FUNCTION MyHandler( nEvent, mp1, mp2, oXbp, oDlg, GetList )
IF nEvent == xbeP_Keyboard .AND. mp1 == xbeK_F10
RETURN DCGUI_IGNORE
ENDIF
RETURN DCGUI_NONE

Hi Bobby,
no, this doesn't help. I want to use F10 as a ACCELKEY, but i want to prevent that the XbpMenuBar receives the focus...

Hi Roger,
this was my first test. This prevents that the XbmMenuBar gets focus, but with this i can't use F10 for anything else (f. e. as a ACCELKEY). But this is want i want to do: I want to use F10 as ACCELKEY, but the XbpMenuBar should't receive the focus. BTW, XbpMenuBar receives focus even if it is disabled...
Any other hint?

Markus,
i use this
DCHOTKEY xbeK_F10 ACTION { || perauft(), DC_GetRefresh( GetList ) }
and have no problem.

No, it is the same problem with DCHOTKEY. The Menubar gets the focus. perauft() is called, but the menubar has the focus, even if it is disabled.
Edit: I don't have MODAL windows. With Modal-Windows it seams to work. But not with my NON-Modal-situation.

I don't understand why you are having a problem. This works for me:
Code: Select all
#INCLUDE "dcdialog.ch"
#INCLUDE "appevent.CH"
FUNCTION Main()
LOCAL GetList[0], dDate := Date(), oMenuBar, oMenu
DCMENUBAR oMenuBar
DCSUBMENU oMenu PROMPT 'Menu' PARENT oMenuBar
DCMENUITEM 'Menu Item' PARENT oMenu
@ 0,0 DCGET dDate
DCHOTKEY xbeK_F10 ACTION {||msgbox('test')}
DCREAD GUI
RETURN Nil
* ---------
PROC appsys ; return

Hi Roger,
Yes, this is working, but you will see that the menubar got focus. This is what Markus want to disable. I don't know if this is possible. The focus for the menubar with F10 is standard Windows behaviour.

Hi Chris,
hi Roger,
correct Chris. This is my problem. And because i have a "special" Application-Design (non-modal-windows, but opening a new window disable the parent) the problem is real. The Menubar even gets the focus even though it is disabled...
Edit: I have now a "dirty" workaround: I catch the F10-Event in my custom handler and post another keyboardevent and use this keyboard event as a ACCELKEY. Not nice, but a workaround...
