Precedence and the F1 key
When you are editing an RSView32 project, the F1 key always
launches context–sensitive Help.
At runtime, if a runtime editor has focus, F1 launches context–
sensitive Help for that editor. If a graphic display has focus, and a
press, release, or repeat action has been defined for the F1 key, F1 acts
as a display, object, or global key instead of launching Help.
Precedence and embedded ActiveX objects
When a graphic display is active and an embedded ActiveX object has
input focus, a key that triggers an action in the embedded object will
not trigger that action if the key has been defined as an object or
display key as well. When you press the key, the action of the
embedded ActiveX object will not be executed; the action of the
object key or display key will be triggered instead.
For example, you might have an ActiveX slider object to control the
speed of a motor, with the F2 key defined to increase the motor’s
speed, and the F3 key defined to decrease the motor’s speed. If you
have defined F2 as an object key to jog the motor’s position, pressing
F2 will never increase the motor’s speed—every time an operator
presses F2, the motor’s position will be jogged instead.
If a key that triggers an action in an embedded ActiveX object has
been defined as a global key, pressing that key will trigger both the
action defined for the embedded object and the action defined for the
global key.
For example, if the F2 key for an ActiveX gauge object increases a
motor’s speed, and you have defined F2 as a global key to print the
current graphic display, each time the operator presses F2, the motor’s
speed will be increased, and the graphic display will be printed.
