TabKey and TEXTBOX

[Cezary Zielinski]

Dear forum!

What is simpliest way to change TAB key behaviour in DDT TEXTBOX? I don't need to shift focus to next control, I want to insert CHR$(9) char in edited text.

Thanks in advance

1) subclass DDT dialog
or
2) no other controls should have tabstop
or
3) Use CTRL-TAB

Unlike I think that Ctrl-Tab is best idea, you can "switch off" Tab for alone textbox by following way.

Instead of

      Dialog Show Modal hDlg Call DlgProc

      Dialog Show Modeless hDlg Call DlgProc
      Local Msg As tagMsg
      While GetMessage(Msg, %NULL, 0, 0)
        If Msg.hWnd = GetDlgItem(hDlg, %ID_TEXTBOX) Or IsFalse(IsDialogMessage(hDlg, Msg)) Then
           TranslateMessage Msg
           DispatchMessage Msg
        End If
      Loop

plus in DlgProc

         Case %WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage 0

Should note, that some guys don't like mixing DDT' & SDK' styles.

It is not an offically sanctioned technique, but many report success with it... it it works then great, otherwise... well... um...
