1. noise

Well the noise killer "returnValue(-1)" seems to be broken. I've put it in
every place I can think of in the 'onKeyDown' routine and nothing works!!
Any Ideas would be appreciated..

Thanks...

2. Re: noise

Some extra info might be nice.

Exactly when does the noise occur.

If you are talking about Alt-char combinations for buttons, then this is a
know bug and has been fixed in the next release. BTW, I'll be working one
getting this release out the  door today.

the onKeyDown event does NOT allow the use of returnValue(-1). That
technique can only be used in onKeyPress.

3. Re: noise

Thanks for the reply Derek. I'm using onKeyDown to be able to respond to
'Return', 'Escape', 'Down Arrow',  and 'Up Arrow'. This works fine. I get
control and do my thing but windows 'rings a bell' when I hit 'escape' or
'return'. Is there a way do defeat the bell?

Hi George,
I don't know the rationale for this but Microsoft in their wisdom decided
that some keys would go through KeyPress and others wouldn't. It looks as if
those keys that generate "characters" in the ASCII range do go through
KeyPress. For you this means that you can trap the Escape and Return keys
there and the arrow keys in KeyDown.
