Hi Björn

Lets try in the demo workpage "Combo Box" the following without mouse, just with keyboard:
1. Focus a combo box
2. Open the list of values
3. Mark a different value
4. Press Tab

The usual behaviour is that the marked value is set to be the new value.
The Swing version of CaptainCasa also behaves this way.

But for the RISC version, we have to press Enter before entering Tab in order to firmly choose the marked value, otherwise the old value is kept.
Our test users consider this additional key pressing quite disturbing for fluent data entry.

We would appreciate if you could implement this request quite soon.
In fact, it is the last hurdle before the RISC version is definitely accepted by our customer to replace the Swing version.

Kind regards, Daniel

Hi Björn

Could you think about this request?

Sorry, this item was not really treated by us...

We could define a direct-selection-mode with the COMBOBOX, but I am not sure if it really makes sense.

Reasons:
1. there is no inconsistency in the current behavior: the value in the field is only updated when selecting a value by "enter" - while in Swing Comboboxes it is immediately updated.
2. in scenarios with FLUSH=true the return-selection is much more effective than the up/down selection (which causes a rountrip to the server every time)
3. it's 100% consistent with typical COMBOFIELD value help popups

So, please really make sure that you want to have this!

- The worst situation would be that we spend effort to implement this and later on no one (including you...) is using this extra mode...

Regards, Björn

I checked in other web pages - and

Hi Björn

Thanks a lot for your effort to provide this feature.
It will be incorporated in the styles of all our applications.

Just a bagatelle: The help text should say "true" instead of "false".
See attachment.

Kind regards, Daniel

@"The help text should say "true" instead of "false"."

Thx, is corrected with next update! - Björn
