Global Event To handle different type of control

Hi,

I need a feature where in I press a key eg: F10 and it should enter a date to the current field. I have used events which is working fine with edit controls. But i want to do it with table control also. So i need something to detect which type of control I am in.

I am using this code.
Event("DateFill", "*.*", WM_KEYDOWN)

Hi Prolay...

Event works, but you don't really need one... You can also use an outside screen button with the F10 shortcut...

For the control type, the first thing is to get the control name (in the event, there is one event variable returning the name, in the button, that would be the PreviousField function)

One you have that, the ..Type property should return what you need, when combined with inderection... That would be something like (not tested)
sControlName is string=PreviousField()
switch {sControlName,indControl}..Type
case typDate
...

Best regards

Hi,

How to find whether the column of a table is a date field?
