When I tab (winlib 55.9) from edit text field to field the field is "blue" for typing replace which is great. My problem is when I have edited the field (I'm getting lost focus) and the entry has an error, I setFocus back to the field and here arises the problem. The cursor is gone and the field is not "blue". The not blue is OK but I need the cursor...it's gone. Any help would be appreciated. thanks george

Derek, thanks but that did not work. I can click on the field, type in it and generally edit it in anyway, but the cursor never shows up....until you go to the next field. george ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Parnell" <ddparnell at bigpond.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: tab > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "George Walters" <gwalters at sc.rr.com> > To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> > Sent: Thursday, September 04, 2003 12:27 AM > Subject: tab > > > > When I tab (winlib 55.9) from edit text field to field the field is "blue" > > for typing replace which is great.

It could be that I've fixed this in the newest version, but I don't recall this effect before. -- cheers, Derek Parnell

How do I get to do something with the tab and shiftTab characters. The onKeyPress and onKeyDown don't seem to do the trick?? Must I use the lostFocus?? ..george ...george

Must I use the > lostFocus?? If you're only wanting to update other fields based on values in the current field, then call your update routine when the control loses focus. If your plans are more elaborate than that, please keep this in mind: there are millions of people out there who expect the tab key to move to the next control on a page, and Shift-Tab to move to the previous control. Best not to disappoint them. Regards, Irv

I guess my question here is... should the tab characters be reported by 'onKeyDown'? Is this a win32 bug or is it expected to not be reported? ...george ----- Original Message ----- From: "Irv Mullins" <irvm at ellijay.com> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Subject: Re: tab > > > On Wednesday 08 August 2001 19:57, George Walters wrote: > > > > How do I get to do something with the tab and shiftTab characters.

I tried the same thing in Delphi, and it catches all keys *except* the tab key. Looks like this is Windows SOP. Regards, Irv
