Re: PSHBTNFLD issue with F4 for prompting a field.

What about just removing F1 & F4 as push buttons?

I handled prompting this way:

(Notice the _*?*_ - F4 works, but it isn't mentioned and users don't
much care.)

I'm certain someone has come across this before. but I'm having an issue.

I using the PSHBTNFLD keyword and I've added 4 commads to the push button
field.

A PSHFLD1 2Y 0B 12 1PSHBTNFLD(*RSTCSR (*NUMCOL 4))
A PSHBTNCHC(1 'F1=>Help' CF01)
A PSHBTNCHC(2 'F3=>Exit' CF03)
A PSHBTNCHC(3 'F4=>Prompt' CF04)
A PSHBTNCHC(4 'F12=>Cancel' CF12)

The issue I have with it, is that when I click on either F1, or F4, I've
lost the field that I'm either asking for help on or prompting on.

I understand that when I click on the buttons, the Field Location is
returning PSHFLD1 instead of the field that the cursor was in... the

window

cursor is also returning the location of where I clicked at.

Just wondering if anyone else has a solution other than putting multiple
push buttons next to the fields that I want to get help or prompt on. If
not, then I'll just remove the push buttons and not use them and go the

old

fashion why of having the user press F1, F4 command keys. It's just

that I

working on a new project and thought it would be nice to have the push
buttons.
