Keeping a field to one line only?

[Garrett]

Rev 2.6.1

How on earth do I disable enter and return in a field, or keep it to a single
line field only?

the enterKey and returnKey messages are not working either.

Thanks,

In a textfield, it is possible to capture the enter event with

Code: Select all

on enterInField
   ...
end enterInField

to have code that works cross platform/cross keyboards it's always best to add

Code: Select all

on returnInField
   enterinfield
end returnInField

Garrett, you are actively coding it seems!?

You can also set the "AutoTab" property (labeled "Tab on return" in the inspector).

Note that you still can paste returns into such a field.

the enterKey and returnKey messages are not working either.

How I came up with the two message names above is beyond me, but
enterInField and returnInField do the job.

I needed to catch the enter and return keys so I could active some code,
so the autoTab would not have worked. But thanks a bunch BvG

And thank you also Marielle.
