Hi guys,

Another workaround for this would be to redefine the F10 with an OKL. This way, it can be trapped for in the KeyPress event of the form (using the new key):

*Form.Init
on key label f10 keyboard '{SHIFT+F10}'

*KeyPress Event
if nKeycode = 96
    wait window 'F10 was pressed' nowait
    nodefault
endif
