GOAL:
4GL. Is there an easy way to empty the content of a field without pressing the keys backspace or delete?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.x
FIX:
There is an easy way to empty the content of a field without pressing several times the delete or backspace key on the keyboard.
Let say as example that you have several fields (i.e "XX:XX") which should contain times.
If you want to empty a field without pressing delete or backspace, use KEYBOARD-EVENTS.
I have created a Keyboard Event CTRL+S which contain the following:
fill-in-1:screen-value in frame {&frame-name} = " : ".
this will empty the entire field when the user press CTRL+S keys on the keyboard.
The advantage will be that you empty a field without pressing several times to delete key or backspace key.
