Prevent the mouse scroll button

#1

If I have a form of many records (1 record per page). How do I prevent the
user from scrolling to another existing record using the mouse scroll
button. I know how to intercept keyboard stuff, just not mouse scrolling.
Thanks,

Paul,

I know the same problem and its really bothering, if you change a record
without intention.
The same thing happens to me when scrolling in internet-forms with the mouse
wheel.
I do understand your concerns.
Nevertheless I would agree with Jim. Disabling the wheel function may appear
as a weakness of your app for the costumer.
So it's better to distinguish, which field is active and to chose the best
action (setting the event you like and disable the default or use
setErrorCode(userError).
This does not apply to actions fired by key-pressing. But to all
menu-actions, this means also clicks on icons in the toolbar, are involved.
Please note: The wheel-move triggers first an menuAction event. Here you can
use some method to decide what to do.
For example: I do redirect the NextRecord to FieldForward in some critical
cases.

method menuAction(var eventInfo MenuEvent)
var
siID smallInt
uiActive uiObject
stAName string
endVar

if eventInfo.isPreFilter() then
;// This code executes for each object on the form
siID=eventInfo.ID()
if (siID=MenuRecordNext OR siID=MenuRecordPrevious) then
stAName=active'name
view("Wheel or not wheel, that is the question!",stAName)
switch
case stAName="myField": ;do something
case stAName="yourField": ;do something different
;...
endSwitch
; Code here
endIf

else
;// This code executes only for the form

endIf
endMethod

Egbert,
That worked beautifully! I have also disabled certain keystrokes essentially
doing the same thing.
Thanks
