keyboard disable

[ZeRider]

Hi,
Do you know if there is the possibility to disable keyboard inputs with HTBasic (or other …) to force the user to click on a BPLUS icon?

CONTROL KBD,7;3 ! disables all keyboard keys
CONTROL KBD,7;0 ! enables all keyboard keys
CONTROL KBD,7;1 ! disables all keys except RESET
CONTROL KBD,7;2 ! disables RESET key only

Is this what you mean?

Hi Ralph,
thank for proposal but seem to not work on my computer (HTBasic 10.1.3 + Windows 11) … 🙁
When I press “ENTER” it’s still like I click on “YES”

CLEAR SCREEN
KEY LABELS OFF
CONTROL KBD,7;3
!
!**************
! MESSAGE BOX :
!**************
Btn=0
!
P$(1)=”File Storage ?” ! Button 0=YES / Button 1=NO

DIALOG “QUESTION”,P$(1),Btn
!
IF Btn=0 THEN PRINT “Storage File : YES”
IF Btn=1 THEN PRINT “Storage File : NO”
!
KEY LABELS ON
CONTROL KBD,7;0
END

Setting the DEFAULT BUTTON attribute to -1 is supposed to disable Enter/Return:

DIALOG “QUESTION”,P$(1),Btn;SET (“DEFAULT BUTTON”:-1)

However, this did not work for me. I tried setting it to 1, which did work to make “No” the default button. So, I assume -1 not working must be a bug. I will get this submitted and we should be able to fix it.

If you want to discuss this further, you can reach me at htbsupport@transera.com

Hi Ralph,
I confirm the button is correctly parameterized by the -1/+1 but no change with the keyboard input.
The default button is always validated par the “ENTER/RETURN”
Thanks for reporting the bug.
