Hotkeys within formsets

[Loomis]

My application has a dozen forms that comprise a formset. Each form has several command buttons which can be activated via hotkeys.

Question 1: When one attempts to trigger a command button on the active form using it's hotkey assignment and that same hotkey exists on an inactive form, the inactive form becomes active and the original command button is ignored. Can multiple forms within a formset share hotkey assignments?

Question 2: What is the best practice regarding formsets vs independant forms.

Hi my friend,
Regarding Q1
You may need to Push Key b4 you deactivate you form and then Pop Key in the activate it again, I know that the documentaion said that this commands are mainly to handle ON KEY LABEL but believe me it worked at least for me in 2.*
days, may be Fox handle the hot keys by assigen ON KEY LABEL to them , maybe
Regarding Q2
I can't provide you a good feedback, I didn't use the Form set since Fox2.6 and as far as I know the form set mainly
exsit in VFP for compatability issue. But some programmers like them and do some good job with them, I hope any one of our friends here can provide us a good answer.
Hope this will help Walid Magd
