How To Use F2 and F10 Function Keys for Custom Purpose

[SGLong]

I am working on a data entry screen where I want to emulate the keystrokes used on a Bloomberg Terminal. My emulation works fine for keys F3 thru F9 and F11 but there is no response to F2 or F10. In the KeyPress event I placed the following diagnostic code.

WAIT WINDOW ALLTRIM(STR(nKeyCode)) TIMEOUT 1

and it generates a wait window for everything but F2 and F10. I even tried a tip from an earlier posting by placing 'ON KEY LABEL F2 KEYBOARD "{F2}" PLAIN' in the GotFocus event but to no avail.

Does anybody have any suggestions to allow the text box to respond to the F2 and F10 keys?

F2 and F10 are used in VFP IDE (F10 not only in IDE but by windows in general). F2 would work in an executable.
You can use winAPI if it is a must to use F10.
