Disabling the backspace key

Post by goldfinchs »

Is it possible in PWB to disable the backspace key, to stop a user going back to previous screen, but not effecting their ability to backspace in a text field ? We can disable the backspace key for totally by changing the scancode map registry settings on the workstation.

I have taken a look at disabling the Backspace key for page history but not for edit items, and I believe it will not be a problem to fix this. I am
going to tie the disabling of the Backspace key for page history into the View Go Back menu item and the Back button.

Question

Post by goldfinchs »

Thanks for the reply Scott, as I am new to this. Does you reply mean the fix will be included in a future release ?, is there any workaround you know of by either editing the ini file or the registry directly

It means the fix is here.

I posted a version of PWB v2.05 that will disable the Backspace key to go back a page if both the [MenuItems] ViewGotoBack, and [Buttons] Back, are set to false.

Please let me know if this works for you.

We are hoping to release PWB v2.05 from beta testing on Friday of this week.
