Is it possible to check/uncheck checkboxes
in a DataBrowser using the keyboard?
(without using MouseKeys, of course).
On Windows, checkboxes in a ListView/TreeView
can be checked/unchecked by typing the space key when an item is selected.
For an example, see the checkbox list
in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced -> Performance settings,
or the checkbox tree in Control Panel -> Taskbar & Start Menu ->
Customize.
This capability seems to be missing
on the Mac (I have tried all sorts of key sequences, and done several internet
and ADC searches).
Please see 2 examples from OS X System
Preferences that have checkboxes that are inaccessible using the keyboard:
1) a checkbox table at Sharing >
Services
2) a checkbox tree at Keyboard &
Mouse > Keyboard Shortcuts (it is particularly ironic that this keyboard
shortcuts tree is inaccessible <grin>)
Is there a hidden key sequence that
will do what I am looking for natively, or do I have to hook the event
myself in my application?
Thanks,
Carolyn _______________________________________________
