Tab stop ??

JLM
I have a form which I want users to "view only" certain fields. I don't
want a tab stop on those fields, I don't want focus on those fields;
nothing, just view only. When scrolling through the records of the form,
these fields have focus. How can I get those fields to be view only and no
tab stops. The field's tab properties are Auto Tab=No, Tab Stop=No, Tab
Indes=No. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

You can set Enabled to False. Good user interface design: change the
layout of the control so that it doesn't look as if it can be enabled
some way (not sunken/raised, probably transparent background)

If you need the control data to be nice and readable, then setting Locked
to true and playing with the control/font colours and styles sometimes look
better than the greyed out Disabled look.

Oh yes indeed, disabled also grayes. Greyes. Whatever.

Sometimes I put this in the Enter event:
screen.previous control.setfocu s

That way you can never enter the field.

I'm using Python to parse a bunch of s/w test files and make csv files for later report generation by MS ACCESS....(my boss loves the quick turn-around compared to C).

I have the basic parse part done for parameters, errors, etc., but noticed my routine for...

Hi I need some help if anyone can understand my crap javascript. The problem is that after the slideshow ends (reaches the end of array) it should stop, but the timeout doesn't clear and I can see the layer flashing. I wrote a slideshow script. When you click a hypertext link it calls the function speed() and passes the variable 5000: var myvar = 0; // Starting variable at zero var myTimeout;

Hi, I am writing a service which takes a long time to stop after the OnStop call is given by the Services Snap-in. The problem is I cannot cut down on the time that it takes to Stop. The Service snap-in gives me the error saying that the service did not respond to the Stop call in a timely fashion. So is there any method by which I can get around this problem. Thanks Prasad

Hi, I have two windows services running together. One is the main program, and one is an "updater" wrapper for the main. The updater service starts and stops the main one (as in you should never start or stop main service manually, only updater). On most computers it works great, the updater's onStop() can start and stop the main service perfectly. On some computers, though, the updater hangs when it tries to stop the main service. It...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
