Hi David,

In one of the Views I have put an some lines of code on the click event of the view itself. In fact I have a button that appears in some situations and I wanted to allow user to click elsewhere to hide it and I did it by writing the code on view's click event. This part works great, the issue it causes though is that space bar also acts as click now, so when in the inputs available in the view a space is needed, instead of having a white space, click event is fired, I was wondering is there away that I can read the space bar event and perhaps put an exception in the click event? something like below:

I assume like this space bar gets back to do what it was doing?

If (space bar is not hit)
hide "button1"
EndIf

Thanks a mill

Hello Amin,

Curious behaviour... Certainly we can ride on it by a code like the below one in the View's Click event:

// Test if the click event is fired by the space bar

If "[View1.Event.keyCode]" "==" "32"
  Exit
EndIf

// If we reach here, then Click event is not fired by the space bar

Hi David,

Thanks for your great support, got it sorted! It just needed one more line of code! So because Space bar was firing the click event instead of spacing, I had to add the space when it was pushed manually, like below:

If "[View1.Event.keyCode]" "==" "32"
  SetVar "[TextArea.Value]" "[TextArea.Value] " "String"
  Exit
EndIf

Hello Amin,

You are right. I just don't know about this "space bar" behaviour, but, in some cases, certainly we must look at that.
