[archive] Changing focus

[Migrated content. Thread originally posted on 19 July 2005]

Good days,

Im trying to change the focus when i click on a button with an exception value to an entry field, but it dont pass through before and after procedures. There are more ways to do it?

Thanks

Is it a self-act button that terminates the screen accept so that you can
MOVE 4 TO ACCEPT-CONTROL and MOVE entry-field-id TO CONTROL-ID and then loop back to accept of the screen section so that focus has moved to the entry-field?

Yes, its self-act

from acubench help:

Also note that this style makes the button self-activating, but not any associated Screen Section entry. This means that any BEFORE or AFTER procedures named in an associated Screen Section entry will not automatically execute when the button is clicked. They will function only when you ACCEPT the Screen Section entry in your program.

I see my problem, but, there is another way to chagne focus?
