This code can be used to move to a certain field. If the cursor is within a field with that name the next field will be located and selected.

 

procedure TWPEdTest.MoveToField(fieldname : String);

begin

  fieldname := SelectField2.Text;

  // If this is the current move on ...

  if DataEdit.CurrentEditField=fieldname then

       DataEdit.MoveToNextField(false);

  // Try from here

  if DataEdit.MoveToField(fieldname,false) then

     DataEdit.SelectFieldAtCP(false, true)

  // or from start

  else if DataEdit.MoveToField(fieldname,true) then

     DataEdit.SelectFieldAtCP(false, true);

  DataEdit.SetFocus;

end;
