Type
message
Summary
Sent when the user presses the Enter key, if there is no text selection.
Syntax
enterKey
Description
Handle the enterKey message when you want to perform an action (such as going to the next card) when the user presses Enter .
The Enter key is usually located on the numeric keypad. It is a different key from the Return key (confusingly labeled "Enter" on some keyboards), which is usually located above the right-hand Shift key.
The message is sent to the active (focused) control, or to the current card if no control is focused. If there is a text selection or insertion point in a field and the user presses Enter, the enterInField message is sent to that field, and the enterKey message is not sent.
Examples
on enterKey -- in a stack script, closes the stack on Enter key
