Is it possible to go through a group of radio buttons with the up-arrow key? To go through the group of radio-buttons with the down-arrow, left-arrow or right-arrow key is no problem but the up-arrow key causes an exception. 

Does anyone here has a solution for me?

 

Kind regards,

    I tried a simple screen with 3 radio buttons and the up arrow worked. Does your configuration file include a setting for keystroke to have an exception value for the up arrow?

    I thought so too. So I changed my configuration file and left the KEYSTROKE EXCEPTION lines out. That did not change the behaviour of the up arrow.

    This is my configuration file:

    # Configuratie bestand om grafische (windows) programma's te draaien

    v-version 4
    code-suffix cbx
    max-files 256
    text 1=Druk enter
    text 2=Nummer noodzakelijk
    text 3=Ingave noodzakelijk
    text 24=&Ja
    text 25=&Nee
    text 26=&Annuleren
    screen size=26,80 window=999,999
    KEYSTROKE EXCEPTION=10 k0
    KEYSTROKE EXCEPTION=11 U1
    KEYSTROKE EXCEPTION=12 U2
    KEYSTROKE EXCEPTION=39 U9
    quit-mode 199

    Run in debug, place a monitor on key-status (or whatever value you use to determine exceptions) what value is in key-status when you use the up arrow. Does that value match up with any other exception values you might be using (i.e a exception value for a push-button).

    The key status is 52 and that is not used anywhere else as an exception value.

    Could it be that the radio button definition has the NO TAB and NO GROUP TAB property turned on?
