SET CONFIRM

Determines how a GET entry field is exited.

Syntax

SET CONFIRM on | OFF | (<lOnOff>)

Arguments

on | OFF | (<lOnOff>)

The option determines if an exit key must be pressed to end editing in a GET entry field. With ON or .T. (true), the Return key must be pressed to leave a GET. OFF or .F. (false), which is the default, changes focus to the next GET once the user types past the last position in the edit buffer.

Description

SET CONFIRM is a compatibility command for the GET system in text-mode applications. When SET CONFIRM is OFF, the cursor moves to the next GET if the user types past the last position in the edit buffer of the current GET. With SET CONFIRM ON, the user is required to type an exit key (E.g. the Return key) to advance the cursor to the next GET.
