Hi Wayne,

Tried it out and surprisingly.... the KeyPress() event is not fired for the textbox. The only way I could trap it was from the Form's KeyPress() event and the Form's KeyPreview has to be set to False.

Found the same in VFP6 too.

>Drop a text box on a form and place a WAIT WIND 'Not Cool' in the KEYPRESS event. Then press a letter. The WAIT WIND will fire. Press ALT+A,B,C,D,E,...
>The method will not fire.
