[Solved] Odd Field selection behaviour

Post by gkick »

Hi,

Possible trivial but puzzled with this one

By default when moving from one field to another in a form the field having the focus is highlighted.
This however does not seem to be the case for formatted or currency fields ?
Is there a way to enforce the highlight without having to double click for editing? I do not seem to find
a property for this apart from hide selection which does not seem to do anything.

Thank you

Hello,
didn't check, if a currency field has this behaviour, but found out that a formatted field doesn't.
Just change the field type to "formatted field" and format it as you like.
