Radio control

[Otto]

I have definde a RADIO control this way:

Code: Select all  Expand view

 @ 140, 50 RADIO oRadio1 VAR nOption ITEMS "Hotel ", "Kassen ", "Gesamt" OF oPanel PIXEL  SIZE 80, 13

Navigating from control to control the TAB key navigates to every item.
Is this correct? I thought within the radio control you go up and down with the cursor-key?
Do I have to define somewhare a group?

Thanks in advance

Testrad2.prg of the FW samples has the same behavior.
It is impossible to operate this dialog only with the keyboard.

Does someone have a solution?

Otto,

you can use CHECKBOX instead of RADIO control, you need to suimulate the radio's behavior with ON CHANGE option.

this is an idea only

Otto,

You need to define a group for the Tab to work as you want. See \samples\testrad3.prg.

Even as just an infarce design issue you should define the radios as a group.

Hello james,
testrad3 is a sample with resource I use in this case the radio control from code.

Otto,

samples\TestRad2.prg behaves that (wrong) way, because it uses a window, and in a window FWH controls the navigation between controls and it is failing on radios. We have to fix it.

If you change "WINDOW" into "DIALOG" in samples\TestRad2.prg and also changes the dialog size, then you will see that it behaves as expected:

Code: Select all  Expand view

   DEFINE DIALOG oWnd ;
      TITLE "Testing a Radio Buttons Menu" COLOR "N/W"

   ...

   ACTIVATE DIALOG oWnd CENTERED ;
      ON INIT oWnd:SetSize( 600, 400 )

Hello Antonio,
thank you. As I use it on a panel I will wait for a fix.
Best regards,

Otto,

Here is the syntax for a group using code:

Code: Select all  Expand view

@ <nTop> . <nLeft> [ GROUP <oGroup> ] TO <nBottom>, <nRight> ;
[ LABEL | PROMPT <cLabel> ];
[ COLOR <cClrFore> [, <nClrBack> ] ];
[ PIXEL ];
[ DESIGN ]

Hello James,
For this part I need radios on a panel and as Antonio writes above there are problems with windows.
It seems radios and TAB navigation only works with dialogs.
Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

You can put a borderless dialog on the panel and the controls on the dialog.
