Find and escape key

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

I have a solution based on a Servoy Framework.

When the users enters find mode and then hits the escape key,
the framework seems to stop responding.

It looks as if the find mode is cancelled, but not completely.

If i go in debug mode after going into find-mode, nothing happens when i hit the escape key.
I can hit any key after escape, nothing happens anymore and the debugger also does nothing, so no code is executed.

So it is not any framework code or my code.

What does escape-key do in find mode and can it be disabled ??

Regards,

We are also looking for a way to cancel a Find/Search once an user has initiated one.

what should the escape in find exactly do?
Really cancel the find or undo the latest edit in the current field?

Hi,

It should cancel the find.
Would be great if an event is fired when the user hits escape.
I could for instance reload the previous foundset then.

Or maybe not give the escape key a standard function, just trigger an event, so the
programmer can decide what to do.

Users tent to hit the escape button when they want to cancel a search.

B.t.w. I still do not understand why the escape “hangs” the framework.

Regards,

Hans
