Description

The SET PCKEYS ON command causes the INKEY(), READKEY() and LASTKEY() functions, and the WAIT command, to translate the codes for function keys pressed at the keyboard to their IBM-PC counterparts. A table summarizing the codes is shown below.


Keypad List PC Key Wait Inkey() Readkey() Lastkey()
[1] F1 0 28 36 28
[2] F2 255 -1 -1
[3] F3 254 -2 -2

[6] F6 251 -5 -5
[7] F7 250 -6 -6
[8] F8 249 -7 -7
[9] F9 248 -8 -8

[CURSOR UP] CURSOR UP 5 5 4 5
[CURSOR DOWN] CURSOR DOWN 24 24 5 24
[PAGE UP] PgUp 18 18 6 18
[PAGE DOWN] PgDn 3 3 7 3

[PAN LEFT] Ctrl <- 26 26 8 26
[PAN RIGHT] Ctrl -> 2 2 9 2


When PCKEYS is ON the ’/’ key cannot be used to activate the menu bar. The [MENUBAR] key must be used instead. This allows the ’/’ to be input into a field on a form.

This command allows the optional logical expression <expL> to be evaluated. If a value of .T. is returned PCKEYS is set ON. If a value of .F. is returned PCKEYS is set OFF. By default SET PCKEYS is OFF.


Example

set pckeys on
? inkey(0)
// Press key to obtain value
