Hello all,
Let me preface this by saying I'm not the most competent programmer around.
I "dabble" ;) , but I'm getting by. Been lurking on the list since some
time in 2002. Learned a lot, and I want to thank everyone who's
contributions have helped me over the years. I did a few searches to see if
this has come up before, but I didn't get any hits.
I have what would seem to be a pretty simple question. I have a customer
who has commissioned a small reporting application. Data is entered into a
series of NSTextFields. Their big issue is that they want to replace the
current generation "Tab to next field" (nextKeyView:) functionality with old
<shudder> DOS-like arrow keys. Obviously everyone's first response (mine
included) is to tell them to get out of the stone age, but they've put forth
some fairly compelling reasons why they would want it this way (Besides the
fact that "that's how it's always been"). Unfortunately, I haven't the
first clue about where to go to make this happen.
Has anyone else faced this problem, or have any hints? Can I intercept
arrow key events while they're editing text in the fields? (because they
won't be pressing "return" before trying to arrow down.) I'm not looking
for anyone to write it for me. (although sample code is greatly
appreciated. That's always how I learn best.)
Thanks for your attention,
Jason
