Shortcut keys:

PowerCOBOL lets you assign function keys to CommandButtons as shortcut keys. Note:

You need to be careful not to use function keys already assigned by the Windows system.

That the focus does not move to the CommandButton when the shortcut key is used.

Default Button

You can set a CommandButton to be the default button. The default button is the one that receives a Click event when you push the Enter key. For example, it is often helpful to make the OK button the default button.

A CommandButton becomes the default button when one of the following is the case:

- The Default property is True.

- The CommandButton has the focus.

Note: If the UnacceptableDefault property is True, you cannot change the Default property to True - so the CommandButton cannot become the default button.

Refer to the descriptions of the Default property and the Click event for details.

Cancel Button

You can set a CommandButton to be the cancel button. The cancel button is the one that receives a Click event when you push the Esc key. For example, it is usually helpful to make the CommandButton with the text "Cancel" the cancel button.

Refer to the descriptions of the Cancel property and the Click event for details.
