WinDev - change Edit Control Detail via code

Hi,

some of our tool users do not like the "Edit Control" -> "Automatic End of input" option which we use for entering numeric data.
So we would like to implement a setting to deactivate this.
My idea was to set this Setting via Code, but I can't find any "Edit Control" Property to set "Automatic End of input" to TRUE/FALSE ?!

Does anyone has an idea how this property is called in WinDEV? Or an alternate solution?

Regards
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

imho, there's no property for "Automatic End of Input" and no way to switch it directly. Maybe, there is an event appearing whenever the "Auto End of Input" takes place and you could move focus back to that edit control?

Kind regards,

Hello Patrick,

If there are a number of those edit controls in a window you could create a duplicate set of edit controls without the "Automatic End of Input" and place them on another plane and then switch to that plane. I think this is the simplest.

If there are only a couple of fields then still create duplicate fields but put each set of fields into a different group and turn the groups visible or not. In this case the extra fields could sit on top of the current ones or you could park them off to the side and move them in.

Hi Patrick,

Or just remove the end of input option and do your own eoi routine in the "whenever modifying" code section:

PROCEDURE Check_EOI()
IF bEndOfInputEnabled=False THEN RETURN
IF Myself..Length>=gnDefinedInputLength THEN
   //Do whatever you need to do on end of input
END
