Change Radio Button on a FoxPro program

Post by RogerE » Fri Apr 20, 2007 1:40 pm

We are using an older (7.3) version of MSched, to run some overnight tasks on a commercial system built using FoxPro.

There is one part of the system that shows 2 radio buttons and a push button. Unfortunately there is no keyboard shortcut to change the radio button, so it has to be done by highlighting the relevent button and clicking with a mouse. The up and down arrows move between the 3 buttons, but the radio buttons themseves are not selected until clicked. Pressing Enter causes the push button to "fire".

As you can guess the default is to show the wrong radio button!

Is there a way to let MSched change the radio buttons?

Many thanks

Some thoughts:

1. Have you tried using PushButton> ?

2. Have you tried MouseMoveRel> and LClick to activate the Radio Button Group so that you can then use Tab/Shift-Tab to move between the buttons, then press Space and Enter?

3. Can you have someone change the aplication default using FoxPro so this does not even need to be done?

4. Or can it be modified to make a hot key assigned to the button values.
Hope this was helpful..................good luck,
