excluding fields from tab-advancement

What Paul said.


Another way, and much klunkier, is to monitor the field that next receives the command to "open", maybe in the card script?


on openField
  if the short name of the target is "theFieldYouWantToBypass" then
  focus on fld "NextFieldInTheTabOrder"
end openField


or


The games you can play with LC are endless. I tried to make a klunky handler using field numbers, but this became tricky, so I stopped. The trick is to have fun, play with the options, oh, and maybe get some work done.

Then you could make the "non focusable" field "temporarily focusable" just to 
allow data entry, it worked OK for my test…

==

on mouseDown
   set the traversalOn of me to true
   focus on me
end mouseDown

on closeField
   set the traversalOn of me to false
end closeField

on exitField
   closeField
end exitField

on focusOut
   closeField
end focusOut
