if i set Keypreview=.T. ( i want this setting ),I will see 'This is second' and then 'This is first' .
and if i set Keypreview=.F. ,I will see ONLY 'This is first' .
am i right?

in fact i want this for one combo box in my form. i want to have ESC code for Exit from combo and from my form separately. i want if i am in combo, when i press ESC, only my combo closed and if i am in another control, i can exit from my form.




>Very good. In your example you will see 'This is first' and then 'This is second' if F12 pressed within the textbox. Do you want something different?
