I solved my problem but thanks for replying. I solved my problem by using the nkeycode parameter. I still wonder why the dodefault() doesn't add the keypressed value to the value property of the control. I mean it seems that if you put a dodefault() and then write code to that references the value property of the control, the last keypressed should be in the value (given that it was a character key). In my experiences it seems this is not the case. I guess the value gets updated after all the code in the keypress is run.
