How should i use "enterKey" handler when entering text

[Ultravibe]

I can't figure out why enterKey handler doesn't work.
I use "Text entry field" controlle to enter the text from application. In script of this object i've got this:

on enterKey
-- some actions

-- some actions
end enterKey

and this actions doesn't executing. I even add the command (put "Enter key is pressed") to see if this handle suddenly works? (enterKey)
but
Help me, please

Hi Ultravibe,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. Please don't:

Help me, please

This is the MEANING of a forum!

3. Do not use ENTERKEY (check the dictionary for an expanation!)!
You need ENTERINFIELD (and/or RETURNINFIELD):
on enterInField
-- some actions
-- some actions
end enterInField


Best

Klaus, btw, one more question)))))
when i use "text field entry", i puting the pre-assigned value to this field (it's like default text).
I wanna highlight this text when stack is opening. It means that text will be deleted by entering any new characters (or pressing backspace, delete etc.)
And remains the same if i just hit Enter. it's the same when i select several characters with mouse.
So, how can i highlight the text?

Hello from me too, to hilite the text of a field you would use the folowing code:

Code: Select all

select text of fld 1

or if you want to select just 1 line"

Code: Select all

select line 1 of fld 1

or if you want 1 word:

Code: Select all

select word 1 of fld 1

and goes on...
