Class: cUIObject

Take the last key processed by the Key message and return its ANSI value. Returns 0, if a non-printable character (e.g. F1). This should normally only get called within a Key message handler

General purpose confirm function. Added to all classes

Set date to current window if the window is blank this is very, very obsolete. Avoid!

Take the last key processed by the Key message and return its DF value. If a printable character it returns OEM value. If a special key (f1, Key_save, etc.) returns the DF name of this key.

Take the last key processed by the Key message and return its OEM value. Returns 0, if a non-printable character (e.g. F1). This should normally only get called within a Key message handler. This is what you want if you are comparing this with other data in your proggrams

replace key procedure to properly check numeric keyboard values

Added: 05/22/95 JJT During a clear (or a save/delete which sends clear) object-validation is properly shut off. However, the false assumption had been made that the DEO request_clear/clear_all messages originated with the object that had the focus. This was never true and is now even less likely to be true with the request_??? delegation method. The proper solution is to shut off object-validation in the focus object. The problem here is that the focus object may not understand this message (text_windows, buttons, etc). The work-around for now is to make sure that all objects understand these message. We can not directly add an Object_Validation message to the desktop (Object class). Because this message is internal this didn't work. By default this does nothing. Objects using val_mx actually pass this on object_validation.
