Hi Richard,

>We have tried using sender,keyevents args b ut this does not return what was expected (We expected txtPalletRC with lots of properties - but it doesnt)

sender is an object type and therefore only shows the very basic methods and properties. If you know that the sender is a textbox, you can cast the reference to access all of the textbox members:

((TextBox) sender).Text

However, if the sender doesn't inherit from TextBox, this would raise an exception.
