Back space key goes to another Text box

[VictorFRodriguez]

I have a form with several text boxes. When I type something wrong and push the back space to the beggining, sometimes goes to a previous box.
Is there any trick that allows the cursor to STOP when is at the first position?

This has been brought up a few weeks back, a partial solution is in the Keypress Event of the form, make sure the Keypreview of the form is set to .T.. Copy the following into a program and run it. (BTW you can alos add code for all the controls on your form.):

PUBLIC oform1
oform1=NEWOBJECT("form1")
oform1.Show
RETURN
DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form
	DoCreate = .T.
	Caption = "Form1"
	KeyPreview = .T.
	Name = "Form1"
	ADD OBJECT text1 AS textbox WITH ;
		Height = 23, ;
		Left = 60, ;
		Top = 36, ;
		Width = 100, ;
		Name = "Text1"
	ADD OBJECT text2 AS textbox WITH ;
		Height = 23, ;
		Left = 144, ;
		Top = 132, ;
		Width = 100, ;
		Name = "Text2"
	PROCEDURE KeyPress
		Lparameters nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
		If nKeyCode = 127
			Thisform.SetAll("Tabstop",.F.,"textbox")
		Else
			Thisform.SetAll("Tabstop",.t.,"textbox")
		Endif
	ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE

Also, you can include this code to your textbox VALID clause:


IF EMPTY(THIS.value) AND LASTKEY() = 127
RETURN 0
ENDIF

Use "SET CONFIRM ON" - Specifies that the user cannot exit a text box by typing past the last character in the text box.
I hope this help you
