View Full Version : Default focus in radiobutton and checkbox dialogs

At runtime, where there is an edit control or a combobox on a dialog, the focus is set to the first enabled control. Where there are radiobuttons or checkboxes this is not the case: focus is set to the Next button. This makes it less easy to change settings consistently using the keyboard.

Can focus default to the first _selected_ button or checkbox on the dialog instead?

Also, could the default text for buttons include an accelerator, e.g. "&Next >" instead of "Next >". This would also help keyboard users.

Hi,
Thanks for the input duggyfresh, but currently there is no way change the "default" focus of a screen. The same goes for adding an "accelerator".
Thanks for your suggestions, all customer input is appreciated; we will consider adding this functionality in the future.

Thanks for the reply, Mark.

I know the current release doesn't do this. That's why I posted it here... ;-)
