Hi all,

Is there a way to move down a row in a grid when the current control is a combo box? Usually I could use something like KEYBOARD "{DNARROW}" PLAIN but this does not work on a combobox. I have tried a bunch of key combinations (Ctrl_DnArrow etc) and nothing seems to be able to move down a row once you are in a combo.

The reason this comes up is that users have a grid that they do data entry in and when they get to the last cell in the row, instead of cycling back around to the first column, they want it to go down a row and then back to the first col. When I first programmed this, the first column had a textbox and so I could just do this in the keypress event of the last column:

* if user pressed <Enter> or <Tab> go to the next line down
IF nShiftAltCtrl = 0 AND ( nKeyCode = 13 OR nKeyCode = 9 )

    KEYBOARD "{DNARROW}" PLAIN

   * and set focus to the first column
  THIS.PARENT.PARENT.Column1.SetFocus()

ENDIF

Now with the combobox in Col 1, focus seems to get set to that first and then the down arrow gets used by the combobox to move choices in it.

Or maybe there is a different way to do this totally. I had thought of stuffing multiple keystrokes in to get back to the start of the grid (DnArrow and then Shift+Tab x 11) but since the grid is 12 cols wide, it seemed a funny way to do it. Or maybe I set t focus to the 2nd col and then back up a cell (but I would rather do the above).

Thanks,
Albert
