Works great so long as you only have fields, but sooner or later it is going to focus on
your button. What I have done is on openCard I build a list of fields whose names match a
criteria, such as starting with "fld" whose locktext is false. I save it in a
property.
You are right there; that is why I posted an earlier message that went
like this:
"However, I haven't had such a super weekend as something began to
niggle at my mind last night:
What if the sequence of fields is interupted by a button or other control?
Tried this and had NO JOY:
on mouseUp
put the id of the focusedObject into fOB
repeat until control id fOB is a field
put (fOB + 1) into fOB
end repeat
focus on fld id fOB
on mouseUp
the 'repeat' line "threw a bluey" (is: bad validation type)
replaced 'is' with '=' . . . same old sh*t.
What am I missing? "
and am still waiting for a reply that might allow me to lever my
original solution.
When I want to set the focus, I find my current field in the list, and then set the focus
to the next object in the list. This has the added advantage of being able to run a
"tab order" procedure to change the tab order of objects without changing their
ID's. I also intercept the tab key in the card script and follow the above method instead
of letting LC do it.

OK, today's kindergarten question, to which I think I knew the answer
once upon a time (but then, i thought that I used to use "send some
message to every field in this card" . . .).
I want to be able to leave a field and focus to the next field, just
as if tab were hit, from within a script. I've tried sending tab as a
message to the field, and sending it to the card with a tick delay.
Surely this is easy . . .
I have just made a merry little stack with 3 fields all in a row.
And a button containing this script:
on mouseUp
put the id of the focusedObject into fOB
put (fOB + 1) into fOB
focus on fld id fOB
on mouseUp
and, oddly enough, it shifts the focus down the line of fields, one per click.
Have a lovely weekend. Richmond.
