[javascript glitch] app.execDialog multiline static text is selected by default SOLVED

[Mathew]

The custom dialog app.execDialog seems to ignore 'first_tab' property and always selects the first selectable item in the dialog. When a multiline static_text item is first, it will always select the text. I'd expect this for an edit_text item, but not for static_text:

Code: Select all

// multiline example

{
const dia = {
  description: { name: "Multiline static text", width: 400, first_tab: 'okbt', elements: [
    { type: 'static_text', width: 400, name: "The following text is in a multiline static_text and always seems to be selected, regardless of whether first_tab is set to anything"},
    { type: 'static_text', width:400, multiline: true, char_height:4, name: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

    { type: 'ok', item_id: 'okbt'}
  ]}
};

app.execDialog(dia);
}

Hello, Mathew

Thank you for the report, I have escalated this to the Dev team for review.

Kind regards,

The problem occurs because, at the moment, we do not handle the first_tab and next_tab properties.
In 11.1.0, we have added handling of first_tab, but not next_tab, as it requires some serious changes.
