DATA-ENTRY-RETURN Attribute

The behavior of the RETURN key for the fill-in widgets of a frame.

Data Type: LOGICAL

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies To: SESSION System Handle

If the DATA-ENTRY-RETURN attribute is TRUE, the RETURN key in a fill-in acts like a TAB, and if the fill-in is the last widget in the tab order of its parent frame and of all ancestor frames, the RETURN key applies a GO event to the frame (behavior prior to Version 7). This GO event, from a fill-in RETURN, propagates to all ancestor frames and their descendants, including siblings of the current frame and their descendants, all in the same frame family. If a widget is not a fill-in, the window system handles RETURN entries.

The default value is TRUE for character interfaces and FALSE for graphical interfaces.
