Name: allowKeyInField

Type: property

Syntax: set the allowKeyInField to {true | false}

Summary:

Has no effect and is included in <LiveCode> for compatibility with

imported <SuperCard> projects.

Associations: field

Introduced: 1.0

Platforms: desktop

Description:

In SuperCard, the <allowKeyInField> <property> determines whether a

"keyInField" <message> is sent when a key is pressed while the

<insertion point> is in a <field>.

In LiveCode, the "keyInField" message is not sent.

The <allowKeyInField> <property> is always true. A <handler> can set it

to any value without causing a <error|script error>, but the actual

<value> is not changed.
