John,

1. Not very lightweight.. You still have to replace all textboxes with activeX controls. By the way this might work for Textboxes but what in the following case ?

2. You still have check every checkbox in all your projects and hook them into the behaviourclass which in fact is bound to both the keypress and Valid event.


Example 2:

I saw that in the navision database the following was possible:
1. You could switch pages in a pageframe if you used a certain key combination. (Thus not alt+Hotkey).
2. It is possible to leave a form by pressing ESC

I did go to my forms baseclass class, entered the proper code in the keypress event compiled it and violla it work for all my projects.

Life can be easy when using inheritance.

John, I know for sure that when you'll have your inheritance in VB, you'll be talking a lot different when it comes to this subject.
