Making DELETE work in Editor when trigger active for DELETE
When a trigger is written for the DELETE key, the Editor does not
receive the keystroke. To get around this, use the following code:
ON DELETE ANYWHERE DO:
MESSAGE "Delete" VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
IF SELF:TYPE = "EDITOR" THEN DO:
DEF VAR FOO AS LOGICAL.
FOO = SELF:DELETE-CHAR().
END.
END.
The trick here is that the Editor's DELETE-CHAR() method is used to
emulate the DELETE key.
