Dragan,
Can you work with the form Keypress event to trap the Enter key BEFORE it goes to the SAVE button? Approach this from the Button end instead of the OptionGroup end. Even if the form Keypress doesn't trap the 'Default' setting on your SAVE button, you can write a form/button class that has the correct behavior.

The problem with radio buttons is identical to adding custom columns in a grid or pages in a pageframe. I've never seen any way out of it except having n columns/opt.buttons/pages where n is greater than you'll need. (25?)

Sorry,
Barbara

>A sligt problem, similar to having to add your own cell controls to a grid; now it's a bit different: I need to have my option buttons in an option group, because of the need to handle keypress individually. OptionGroup doesn't have a keypress of its own, but option buttons do. The trouble is that I'm quite accustomed to have these populated at runtime, like this:
>
>*

 optiongroup.init:
>External array vrana_l
>with this
>	.width=0.1
>	.buttoncount=alen(vrana_l)
>	for i=1 to .buttoncount
>		.buttons(i).caption=vrana_l(i)
>		.buttons(i).BackStyle=0
>		.buttons(i).ForeColor=0xFFFFFF
>		.buttons(i).FontBold=.t.
>		.buttons(i).FontName=g_fontname
>		.width=max(.width, .buttons(i).left+.buttons(i).width+.2)
>	endf
>	.height=.buttons(.buttoncount).height+.buttons(.buttoncount).top+.2
>endwith

>So far so good, this part works. The trouble is that setting just the .buttoncount automatically adds new buttons of class OptionButton, not my class at all. My optiongroup class has one button, and I've tried removing it and adding one from my class library, and it complains saying "can't add an object to a non-container class". Super. Now OptionGroup is not a container - it just looks like one and has a buttoncount property. I wouldn't like to code each button's KeyPress - I'd like to do it at class level. Adding code to the initially contained button fires on that button only, the other buttons react as default.

>I tried the VCXeditor approach: increased the number of buttons in the optiongroup, then opened the properties and added Option2.Class = "gradio_b" for each of the optionbuttons. Next time I opened it in class designer, all the buttons reverted to being of class "optionbutton". No good at all. Seems to be I'll have to replicate the code to each of the 25 buttons individually, which is... not like working on a computer at all. Looks like knitting. Of course, I'll have to propagate any of the changes to all of the buttons, that's called maintenance. OK, I'll make it a call to the optiongroup's custom method, so I do this only once. Still I think this is way too clumsy.
