1. tab
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

Try doing a call to setIndex(theEditfld, {1,0}) right after the setFocus().

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.

Send me a tiny example of the effect. It could be that I've fixed this in
the newest version, but I don't recall this effect before.

5. tab
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??

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.

7. tab
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?

I don't think it will be reported. I tried the same thing in Delphi, and it
catches
all keys *except* the tab key. Looks like this is Windows SOP.
