"next" button missing focus

[nikolajg]

Hi fellow installshield workers,

Here's a complaint from one of our testers:

"When you run the installer application, the enter button (on the keyboard)has a default action on most the screens.
I.e. you can (most of the time) just press Enter to continue with a typical installation. In these cases, you can see which action will be selected as default.

However, on one or two of the screens this is NOT the case.
The request is that we make it so all the way through - unless there is a good reason not to."

Is there a way to gain focus on "Next"/"Ok" button.

Thanks in advance,

Nikolaj g.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your reply... is it really neccessary to code this.
Im using a input panels to get a password. Well, just checked and of cource the next button can't have focus because of the input text panel... now I made the install myself and didn't find any errors (next button always has focus - strange with these testers :-)... anyway, have to be prepared - is there a way to gain focus on a button without writing any code. Im not using an homemade code here... only input panels. Thanks.

I don't believe there is any way to change the focus with out writing custom code.

I personally think the deafult focus of the User Input Panel is correct and the user can always tab between the components.

Ok, thanks. Anyway, when I made the test just before mailing you - I didn't find any errors. And again, it shouldn't be too difficult for the testers to move the mouse down to the "next" button and press once :-) Ok, that's all for now, thanks for your help. Have a nice day.
