#4592: Keyboard navigating alerts ------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: humdinger | Owner: humdinger Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: R1 Component: User Interface | Version: R1/alpha1 Resolution: | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: Has a Patch: 1 | Platform: All ------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by leavengood): Well take note that I said you can support closing on escape by ADDING B_CLOSE_ON_ESCAPE to the Flags. In the patch you set the flags to that alone, which probably removes the other flags which BAlert sets (B_NOT_CLOSABLE | B_NOT_RESIZABLE | B_ASYNCHRONOUS_CONTROLS). I haven't tested your patch so I can't be sure, but I strongly suspect that is the case. This is easy to fix though, probably even with a search and replace in your patch. Basically all instances of: {{{ alert->SetFlags(B_CLOSE_ON_ESCAPE); }}} need to become: {{{ alert->SetFlags(alert->Flags() | B_CLOSE_ON_ESCAPE); }}} That's how you add that flag without affecting the other ones. See: http://www.haiku-os.org/legacy-docs/bebook/BWindow.html#BWindow_SetFlags Though considering that BAlert already has the flag B_NOT_CLOSABLE, it could be argued that B_CLOSE_ON_ESCAPE sort of conflicts with that, at least in principle. It should still work technically, since the BWindow code which handles B_CLOSE_ON_ESCAPE doesn't look at B_NOT_CLOSABLE. But taking a quick look at your patch, it seems that adding this will be fine for all those alerts. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/4592#comment:8> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
