BrowseDialogWindow

I’m a big fan of keyboard shortcuts so I have a suggested change to the BrowseDialogWindow. Currently the form’s Accept Button is set to cmdSearch. This allows the user to search for all values by just pressing Enter, so far so good. I would like to see the form changed to set the AcceptButton to cmdOK once a search is completed. That would allow the user to press Enter to continue without having to click on the OK button.

 

Along the same lines, I’d also like to see an “Exit” button added to the maintenance toolstrip as an option for closing the form.

Good suggestions, Larry.  Both would need to be properties that could be turned on/off.  The only thing about the accept button changing to cmdOK is that the users would have to accept the functionality that the first record within the browse list would the one "selected" (which I don't see as a problem).  I'll look into it.

Now that I tried it, I found that changing the AcceptButton property doesn't work. Having an option to set focus to the OK button after a search is completed does the trick.

As for the Exit button on the toolstrip, I would assume it would have a property to turn it on or off just like all the other buttons. Currently I'm adding the Incors door_exit icon to my toolstrips.

Thanks for looking into the possibilitySmile

All very good ideas and we will most likely incorporate them because we have just made some enhancements to the BrowseDialog.  Thanks for the info!Smile
