F3 Function Key????

[Doug Johnson]

Windows XP SP2, Progress Version 9.1E

We would like to be able to use the F3 function key in our programs. However, we have found that the F3 key is used by Progress for Menu calls. Is there a way to remap this key?

For example, in your main program use:
ON F3 help.

As far as I know, Progress uses the most recent trigger definition. So if you define a trigger for F3 inside your application it will override the default behaviour.

ON F3 ANYWHERE
DO:
END.

In my experience Progress does use the most recent trigger definition, but after that also executes a global trigger definition.
For example:
The following statement is found in a global session service:
on F11 back-tab.
And in another program I write this code:
on F11 do:
...
end.

Then first my local trigger runs and after that the trigger in the session service. If you want to avoid this you have to write
return no-apply.
at the end of local trigger.

As far as I know, Progress uses the most recent trigger definition. So if you define a trigger for F3 inside your application it will override the default behaviour.

ON F3 ANYWHERE

END.
