Scott,

Here's the KeyPress() method of my lowest level textbox class:

LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl

if ( ( nKeyCode = 127 ) and ( this.SelStart = 0 ) )
   * prevent backspace from taking us out of this textbox and into the prior TabOrder control
   nodefault
endif

>A quick question for the sages. How can I best trap the backspace key in a textbox so that after the text is fully deleted the textbox does not lose the focus? I only want the focus to move to the previous control by using the mouse or shift-tab.
