Press Enter to Submit the inputted string on popup window

[dylan.ramirez]

I have an issue regarding the aXes popup screen.
On green screen once you input the state code then hit enter, the popup screen will update, do the filter and display the details using the filter state code.
But when the screen open using the aXes Environment. The hit enter key is not updating the popup screen and looks like nothing happens.
The screen needs to be refresh using the refresh icon on the left bottom of the screen to take the changes effect on the pop up window.

Lets see..

IF you have an screen like this where pressing F4 in the Department field shows you a popup:

Code: Select all

REQ01                              Popup                      4/19/23 12:09:51
                                                                              
Department..... ADM                                                           
                   ........................................                   
                   :            Departments               :                   
                   :                                      :                   
                   :   Code   Description                 :                   
                   :   ADM    ADMINISTRATOR DEPT          :                   
                   :   MIS    MANAGEMNT INFORMATIO      + :                   
                   :                                      :                   
                   : F1=Help  F14=Messages                :                   
                   :......................................:                   
F1=Help  F3=Exit  F4=Prompt  F12=Cancel  F14=Messages                         

and once you select something, you want to send an enter key, to show the result:

Code: Select all

DSP01                              Popup                      4/19/23 12:11:25

SMYTHE               JOHN                                                     
SMITHSON             PAUL                                                    +
                                                                              
F1=Help  F3=Exit  F4=Prompt  F12=Cancel  F14=Messages                         

I would prefer to replace that input field with a dropdown. But, if you need to show
a popup, in my example this is just a list of departments, but maybe in yours that input
value is something that shows different other subsequent options in the popup.

I will begin identifying both screens, let's say.
REQ01 by the name of the screen (REQ01 in my case)
and the popup screen by the title Departments.

Then, I'll bring a multitype input to the input field for department in the screen
and put a code like this here to force the F4 popup to be displayed as soon as I complete
x number of characters in that field for example:

Code: Select all

sessionStorage.setItem('callingPopup',0);
if (FIELD.getValue().length == 3) 
{ 
    sessionStorage.setItem('callingPopup',1);
    SENDKEY("F4");
}

then in the same screen, on arrive:

Code: Select all

if ( sessionStorage.getItem('callingPopup') == 1)
{
    sessionStorage.setItem('callingPopup',0);
    SENDKEY("Enter");
}

the reason to define both screens, even when I did nothing in the second one, the one with
the popup and Description in the title, is to not mixup both screens, that would cause the onArrive
for the Screen to be triggered incorrectly.

sessionStorage is a way to pass values, there are others as well.
