set the cursor on inputfield

[former_member568822]

Hi,

I have several input field in my MI7.1 application for PDA develop using NWDS 7.1 . Is that possible for me to set the cursor on the application. For example after user scan the product code the cursor will move to quantity input field.

I try use

IWDAttributeInfo attribute = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Name");

wdThis.wdGetAPI().requestFocus(wdContext.currentContextElement(), attribute);

but some how the eswt not supported.

thanks.

Solve by trigger the setFocus method at the plug.

Hi,

putting the setFocus into the wdDoInit method would not work. But putting it to the plug is actually a smart idea

Hi,

I guess you are using the 7.10 SP3 SDN evaluation version, right? I am not sure if this is possible in this version. There was one bug available in the original SP3 version which has been fixed in a patch. I currently do not know if the fix made it into the SDN release. If you are using the proper version containing the fix, there should be a method called "setFocus" on the corresponding input field. To check it do the following: in the wdDoModifyView method of the view containing the input field, type the following line of code

view.get<name_of_input_field>ViewItem().setFocus();

This should do the job you need.

Regards,

Stefan
