>>Yossi,
>>There are multiple ways.
>>-You could invoke default calculator with 'Activate window calculator' and get calculated value with _CalcValue
>>-Yopu could simply call an inputbox and ask for text. ie:
>>
>>lcCalc = InputBox('Calculate','Enter your expression')
>>* User enters 44234+12542+6211
>>? iif(empty(lcCalc),0,Evaluate(lcCalc))
>>
>>-Create a modal form that would get calculation similar to inputbox etc.

LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
IF nKeyCode = 43  && user pressed the "+"
	NoDefault
	_calcvalue = this.Value
	ACTIVATE WINDOW calculator
	DO while Wvisible('Calculator')
	doevents()
	enddo 
	this.Value = _calcvalue
ENDIF
