key focused cluster controls

[Newton2this]

Has anyone been able to apply key focus/tab/arrow keys to cluster controls??

You can use the Key Focus Property Node of one of the elements in the cluster to set the focus on something. From there, you can use the tab key and move about the cluster.

Can you send me a working example?

No LV at the moment. Let me explain the process:

• On the front panel, right click one of the elements in the cluster - lets say the topmost element - and select Create > Property Node.
• A Property Node will be created on the diagram. Right click that node and select Key Focus.
• Change that node to Write.
• Wire a true boolean constant to it.
• Put this outside your main loop so that it activates when your program starts.

Hi,

Find an example below. You can press tab to focus the next control.

Well done!  Thank you, John
