[TC 11.00rc2] Pressing + and - in Background Transfer Manager

[white]

Setup for testing:

1. Select a file
2. Open menu option Commands/Background Transfer Manager
3. Click the Pause button
4. Click + and add selected file for copying
5. Repeat step 4 one or more times (the same operation is fine)
6. Select one of the lines in the queue

Now press the Tab key repeatedly until the option "Speed limit" has focus. If you press + then the option "Speed limit" is enabled and the + button is executed. If you press - the option is disabled and the - button is executed.

Press the Tab key repeatedly until the editbox for entering the speed has focus. Something similar as above happens here when pressing + or -.

Pressing + and - work similar to access keys, but not quite, which creates problems. I think they should behave like access keys, meaning the focus should be placed on the + or - button and then the action of he button should be executed.

OK, I will ignore + and - when pressed on the checkbox or in the edit box. Instead I will support Alt+"+", Alt+"-" and Ctrl+"+" and Ctrl+"-".

21.07.23 Fixed: Background transfer manager: Don't use "+" and "-" to add/remove files when the focus is on the checkbox or edit box. Instead, use Alt or Ctrl with these keys (32/64)

Tested using TC 11.00rc3. It works, but why is there a beep when using Alt with the keys?

[ghisler(Author)]

I don't know, I'm not generating it myself in code.

[ghisler(Author)]

I found a solution, I have to handle message WM_SYSCHAR to prevent the beep.

Could that also be used for this unwanted beep: https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=438089#p438089

[ghisler(Author)]

No, there I had to return 1 when handling WM_CHAR sending the space.

31.07.23 Fixed: Background transfer manager: Prevent beep when pressing Tab or Shift+Tab in edit control by handling WM_CHAR (32/64)
27.07.23 Fixed: Background transfer manager: Prevent beep when pressing Alt+"+" or Alt+"-" by handling WM_SYSCHAR (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in private TC 11.00rc3a

The Tab-beep only occurred when entering and leaving the Max. speed input field.

Yes, that's what I meant with edit control, it's the only edit control in the background transfer manager.

If it's really fixed - so move the topic to Fixed?

Tested OK using TC 11.00 final.
