Pleasse pass this along to some one who might have more use for it or direct me to someone who might have more use. Yesterday I handed in a program which a gui to my instructor and informed him that although there were 6 buttons there were 8 calculatable functions he wanted and did not specify the implementation for. Inother words there were 2 missing buttons. Sinse his guidelines were strict about the gui implementation, I informed him of his mistake. At this point I was embarrassed to discover that the functions I needed were to be implemented by pressing enter after typing information into the edit field. No pressing enter does not click one of the gui's buttons it performs it's own function provide you've defined it in the program which is how this assignment is supposed to work. This is a major problem because java defines the class as an edit field and does not require any additional properties for that edit field to say whether you can hit enter and invoke a function or not. It does have an editable property fore fields which you can not edit . I think those of us who program should get a hold of those who develop java and request the change in implementation so a screen reader can see whether the edit field is one which also acts like a button or just a plane old text field. My question for any of you is how do we go about making this change and who do we inform? Write to me privately if you'd rather not clog up this list. Sean PS. when I finnish the code I can send to anyone who wants it so you can see what I'm talking about.
