Skipping a read-only field
« on: September 19, 2013, 12:21:47 AM »
For a form with a mix of regular and read-only fields is there any way of skipping the read-onlys?

Currently when you tab off an entry field the cursor can go to a read only. 

Any tips, thanks Keith

Change the field type to display?

Look for a setting for the field that says "When accepted, set focus"

It's usually on the second tab of the field settings.

I think that's what you need.

Thanks Don.  Yes 'When accepted, set focus' is on the Settings tab.

I thought that what this might mean was to choose the field that is the next entry field.  So I did this but after tabbing off the preceding field (to the read only field) the cursor vanished and certainly didn't end up on the filed I nominated.  Subsequent tabbing saw the cursor going thru fields from the top of the form.

Basically, I don't understand what ' When accepted, set focus' means and what you put in the field - and do you do this for all of the read only fields.

Thanks

I would be interested in what Bruce has to say. 

I do believe he is still out of town right now so it may be a while before we hear anything.
