Tag identifier
Meaning
KEY_EVENT
Dialog message
The tag KEY_EVENT can be integrated in the form to evaluate keyboard events. The sys-
tem sends the MF2 keyboard code to the active form if the tag is available in a form. If the
variable
$actionresult
is not set to zero, the system then subsequently processes the key-
board event.
The keyboard code is provided in the variable
$keycode
as an integer value.
Example:
The character entered into the variable
exclude_key
should be filtered-out of the input
stream.

<LET name="exclude_key" type="string"/>
