PopUpChoiceList used with keyboard

Print Post Print Post  
Im using a PopUpChoiceList.

When the PopUp appears, i wish to select the first item with the keyboard.

I tryed some keys to focus it.

If i press the down arrow key, the second item is focused (i was hoping the first one should be selected by default or first one selected after the first down key press).

any tip about this?

thanks in advance.

RP! Welcome! (Folks, you're gonna like this person.)

Wow, you've really dug in fast. We'll get Testing to check this out and write it up if it needs fixed.

Found it and fixed it, flamerz. The fix will be in the next release. (No, I don't have a specific date. We send out minor releases when we've accumulated enough fixes to make it worthwhile.)

In your current working directory (Start In directory), you should have a file called rootdirs.ini. Please show me the contents of that file. If you don't have a file by that name in your current working directory, let me know.

Are you running any code that might have changed your current working directory? @Shell or the like?

Another thing that can cause the behavior you saw is printing to the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer as it changes Sesame's working directory but neglects to change it back once the print job is done.

now i cant reproduce it.

i did some exports and many prints (to pdf printer) while trying to design a report with PrintString.

i can say this is quite robust with new users.. Smiley
