Key navagation -- help

[TJ_Tigger]

I am trying to create some key navagation in an app that I am working with and I want to be able to click a back button when a person presses [BACKSPACE] or [ALT]+[<]. The backspace works no problem. But the Alt + left arrow is not working. Here is the code.


if (e_Key == 8) or ((e_Key == 37) and (e_Modifiers.alt == true)) then
if Button.IsVisible("B-Back") then
Page.ClickObject("B-Back")
end
end


Not working and I am confused. I have had the modifiers work in the past but it is not working now so I figure it is me :D

I have never been able to get the 'ALT' modifier to work. I am still not sure why my keyboard that I use to code on does not recognize such.

Possible 'feature' of the AMS software?

wild guess only,,could it have anything to do with
the initial attributes of the button ie. is.enabled

Me either... haven't had any luck with the ALT key modifier.

Guys,
In the help file, under virtual keycode, the code for Alt is missing. This says something. I guess it is a "well known " problem

e_Modifiers.ctrl works when used in conjunction with another key but the alt does not. I will post in the suggestion/report section.

this does work.

if ((e_Key == 8) or ((e_Key == 37) and (e_Modifiers.alt == true) and (e_Modifiers.ctrl == true))) then
if Button.IsVisible("B-Back") then
Page.ClickObject("B-Back")
end
end

It appears that the alt key does not work without some other modifier as well.

TJ... I noticed before that if you use not between the e_Key and modifiers along with or, you then can make sure a user does not use say cntrl-left arror and alt-left arrow to do the same function.
