DCL's and the Enter Key

I have a working DCL file that has radio buttons. When I select a button and strike the enter key, it acts just like a regualr window, it initiates the "OK" button at the bottom. But I also a few DCL's that have a text field that user must enter. There is a defualt and the user may or may not make changes to the field. But when you're done to hit enter (to say "OK") nothing happens. What can I do to mae the enter key strike the "OK" button?

 

In the DCL file, for the "OK" key, do:
allow_accept = true;

Try defining the OK button as the default one:

: button {
label = "OK";
key = "accept";
width = 12;
fixed_width = true;
is_default = true;
}

 

Here is my code.
I've tried both of your suggestions, but none seems to work

dcl_settings : default_dcl_settings { audit_level = 0; }
id_DETAIL : dialog { label = "Detail Requirments";

: boxed_column {
// aspect_ratio = 0;
label = "Detail Identity";
key = "BB";
// fixed_height = true;
// fixed_width = true;

:edit_box {
label = "Detail Number";
key = "DETAIL1";
edit_width = 1;
}
: row {

: button {
label = "&OK";
key = "accept";
alignment = centered;
width = 12;
is_default = true ;
}

: button {
label = "&Cancel";
key = "cancel";
alignment = centered;
width = 12;
}
}
}
}

Like I said, it has to do with the text field being activated, and I want that. thoughts?

 

You can set the initial focus to the OK button with the MODE_TILE function in your lsp file:

(mode_tile "accept" 2)

 

I would rather have the initial focus on the text field.
Like most window in other programs, and even in AutoCAD, a text field is highlighted. You may accept the default and hit enter, or make changes to the field and hit enter, and the command or function continues. Personnaly I use my keyboard as much as possible, because it is much more efficient. If it can be done I'd love to do it, I'm willing to accept if it can't though. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

that IS nifty, but as soon as you want to change the text from the default, the enter key again, will not work.

 

Put the allow_accept = true;
in the Edit_box

Bob, I know you mentioned that earlier, I wasn't sure on where to put it. Initially, I was putting that string of text with the "OK" button. My apologies. Sometime I feel like I'm in over my head with this stuff.
dblaha, thank you too
It works like a charm now
