TabKey Message

Syntax

on tabKey
end tabKey Sent to the current card

Description

The tabKey message is sent to the current card whenever the Tab key is pressed, except when using the Tab key to move the cursor from field to field.

Notes

If the tabKey message reaches the top of the Oracle Media Objects message-passing hierarchy, it becomes the tabKey command.

Examples

The following handler, placed in the script of a card, copies items from one field and pastes them into another each time the Tab key is pressed. on tabKey field "Low Inventory" field "Items on Order" end repeat
