Mark/highlight text in inputField when focused

[Former Member]

Hi, how can I mark the text in inputField when it get focus, without using TAB key? We use ENTER to jump to next inputField, and I want the default text to be marked, as in JavaScript xx.select().

Thanks.

Try using the Request_focus method of IF_WD_VIEW_CONTROLLER

you could call this from the onEnter event of the input field.

The solution seems to be not perfect.

When I key in a value and touch ENTER very fast the field to be focused, gets focused, BUT the text doesnt get marked!

When I key in a value and touch ENTER at a normal speed or slow, the field will get the focus AND the text gets marked.

What can the reason be?

Am I to fast for the Web Dynpro environment??!
