Wherever I have more than one radio button I am finding that only the first one
works correctly regarding access keys. (eg you have a button yes and no
and an accesskey for yes that is Y and one for no that is N you are supposed to
be able to select the radio buttons with alt-access key instead of using the mouse.
For example use alt-N instead of mousing to the no button. That's great if it worked
because users do not want to use a mouse it turns out most unfortunately.
On subsequent radio groups hitting the alt-access key goes off and changes a
different radio button that one is on! It may be the previous one or one in a
totally different location. This is a disaster. Anyone have any ideas about stopping
it from doing this?
Speaking of which radio button one is on, has anyone come up with a good way
to indicate which radiobutton, checkbox or list item is the current one. The users
cannot see those tiny little dots. This would be easy with text items using
pre-text and post-text. But the pre/post text triggers will not fire on non-text items.
One thing I've tried is:
set_item_property(:system.trigger_item,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'CURRENT');
in a when-new-item-instance trigger. That works fairly well but how to turn it off?
What is an equivalent to post-text for radio buttons, checkboxes or list items?
