Keyboard-events [message #13138]

How I can add keyboard-events on my IDL-program?

get_kbrd()-function can be used but that seems to work only if
keyboard-focus is on my IDL-DE. Problem is to receive keyboards button
pressing on my widgets.. I have window with some buttons, sliders, droplists
etc and I need to control my UI also from keyboard so by pressing e.g. key
'b' would have the same same effect as pressing some button from my UI with
mouse.

I have timer-event and I could add get_kbrd(0) function inside it to check
if any buttons has been pressed from keyboard. Now get_kbrd returns always 0
unless I activate my IDL-DE and press it then. Do I need to 'keyboard-focus'
on my widget or what?

Yours, Markku
