[Solved] Default button

I'm trying to make a button the default operation when the user press the "enter" key. Like most requesters have.

I have my own custom requester, a window with some reaction gadgets in it.

GA_ActivateKey, "RETURN", or similar doesn't seem to work.

any ideas how to make this work?

Dunno about Reaction, but for GadTools all I needed to do in my E code was:

* Make the OK text bold by supplying a "textattr" object with the FSF_BOLD style.
* Request that my window receives IDCMP_VANILLAKEY events.
* Have my event loop look for a IDCMP_VANILLAKEY event which has code=13 (Enter).

I also made the Cancel button respond to the Escape key, by looking for code=27.

Unfortunately events are propagated from string gadgets. Seems there has to be a better way to do this.

Ohh well, I changed to RAWKEY instead to get it to work. The rawkey down strokes aren't propagated from string gadgets so I can get around it that way.

@orgin

String gadgets have a hook which is used to do character conversion on the fly. Check the Enter key there. If the string gadget is not active then IDCMP_RAWKEY / IDCMP_VANILLAKEY should work. (Use both methods.)

@TSK

It's already solved, as described above.

I didn't read your post too carefully. I had to read it again before understanding it.
