I have a modal form that has a button that when clicked brings up a modal report preview window. Pressing CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB in the report preview window switches focus to the next available window, which in this case is modal form that called it, while leaving the report preview window open. Now, this is obviously NOT a good thing and things start to get hosed pretty quickly after that.

This problem is specific to VFP8.

CTRL+TAB isn't really such a problem, since I can disable CTRL+TAB using ON KEY LABEL before previewing the report, however, the ON KEY LABEL command just gives me a syntax error when trying to disable CTRL+SHIFT+TAB (or CTRL+BACKTAB).

on key label CTRL+TAB * && works
on key label CTRL+SHIFT+TAB * && gives syntax error
on key label CTRL+BACKTAB * && gives syntax error

This is easy to reproduce, and the report command is a simple one, it doesn't use the IN WINDOW clause (nor do I want it to), just REPORT FORM somereport PREVIEW


Anybody out there have any ideas how to prevent this problem? Ideally I'd like to be able to disable CTRL+SHIFT+TAB before going into the report preview. And even more ideally, maybe the folks at Microsoft could correct this problem?

Thanks............Murray
