Hello,
I have problem with Tab key in RAP application. It doesn't correctly save filled value in Table - value before editing is filled after leaving of table cell by Tab key - Enter a mouse clicking works perfectly.
Is anybody who have similar experience?
Regards
Jan

Hi Jan,
thanks for your question.
I am not sure if I understand your problem correctly: I tried it the following way:

Goto do our demo application: http://widgets.eclipse-scout.cloudbees.net/web , open "FormFields" and select "TableField".
Then you will see a table. I created a new company by doing a rightclick "New Company". Then clicked into the Name field, and changed the name to "xyz". Then I pressed TAB and the value was saved.

Does this help you?

Greetings
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
thank you for your response. A behavior of tab key in the presented application is a little bit different. It correctly closes editing of table field but another table field is not active for editation afterwards.
Greetings.

Hi Jan,

congrats, you found a Bug Smile

Joke apart: You are right (I tried it with the latest version of Eclipse Scout), by default when you use "TAB" to switch to another column, the content is not saved. Only a mouseclick saves the content.

However, you can change the behavior: When you use

@Override
protected boolean getConfiguredTextWrap() {
 return true;
}

in one of your columns, the behavior will be the other way round. "TAB" will save your content and the mouseclick will not.

I opened Bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=421829.

Hope this will help you.
Greetings
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
thank you for your information. I have tried your suggested solution but I probably something missed. It doesn't work - I will try it in the future more carefully.
