Move mouse pointer to default button in dialog boxes

[tbeu]

I have activated the option "Move mouse pointer to the default button in dialog boxes" on Win2k, but this seems not to work with TC (5.51), for instance the FTP dialog. Any ideas ... ?

Thanks,
TBeu

TC is designed for fast work,which means you better use the keyboard.It's 100 times faster than moving and clicking with the mouse.Using mouse in TC is like digging 100m wide hole with shovel if you have a excavator...

I also, like Dominik, prefer keyboard, although I haven't checked if it's really 100 times faster.... I must count it...

I don't like the option "Move to default" but I've checked it now with A4tech Wheel 3DMouse and... it's true
TC ignores it.

LOL,here's a short example:
F5,Enter - 10ms
click "copy",move the mouse to "OK" button & click - 1 sec

so it's really 100 times faster

anyway,i have no clue why it doesnt work with TC,maybe it doesnt have "defaultbutton" defined... i'm not into programming so i dont wanna say sh*t

2tbeu Well, it is works. But TC's dialogs dowsn't contain "default" button. Windows call "default" button which have special style (DEFPUSHBUTTON). TC doesn't use this style.

Total Commander is written in Delphi. Delphi doesn't seem to use the DEFPUSHBUTTON for default buttons - it uses its own subclassed buttons, which do have the default attribute, though. So drivers looking for DEFPUSHBUTTON will not work with TC, but drivers looking for the button with the default attribute will work. For example, it works with my Intellimouse...

So this is a driver issue,not a missing feature in TC...

Fixed in TC 9.50 32- and 64-bit version. Thank you.

Confirmed. Fixed since TC 950rc1:

22.01.20 Fixed: Mouse cursor didn't jump to default button when this option was enabled in control panel - mouse (32/64)

I only replied here since it was my first ever issue I reported to the TC forum and the reason I registered for it.
