Ready Radio Button In Dialog

I hope I am not being a knucklehead, but does anyone have a Dialog that when a value is placed by the user the next button can be readied without using mouse or Tab?

There's no real script to post so here's a simple scenario to help make sense of my question:

Dialog appears asking for username and has a 'go' button.
As soon as the user begins typing in the field for username the 'go' button is ready for an [ENTER] instead of using the mouse or tabbing over to it then hitting enter.

Thanks in advance, Ed

Trouble is - that would require the radio button to have the focus. But only one thing can have the focus at once, so you'd remove focus from the edit box and then whatever the user is typing won't end up there!

Use Default=[Button Name] in the dialog definition.

Here's an example:

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
   Caption=User Name
   Width=333
   Height=151
   Top=CENTER
   Left=CENTER
   Label=Enter your username,96,16
   Edit=msEdit1,16,32,289,
   Button=Go,112,64,75,25,3
   Default=Go
EndDialog>Dialog1

Show>Dialog1,r1
If>r1=2,EOF
If>r1=3,Continue
Label>Continue
MDL>My name is %dialog1.msedit1%

Label>EOF

Cheers!!! That's a nice workaround.
