Keypress, Keydown Problem

[darinmc]

Hi
What i would like to do is, when I type in a text box (tDescrip), I would like the label (lblDescrip) to change instantly with each keypress.

Is this possible and could you help with the code please?

Thx
Darin

Yes this is possible, what are you wanting to change the label to?

 

[darinmc]

with each key pressed, i want the lDescrip.caption to be equal the tDescrip

As i type in . . .

I want the same thing to show in the label
Thx
Darin

Just put this in the KeyUp event of the textbox
lDescrip.caption = tDescrip.text

The Change event might be better as it will detect any change in addition to keystrokes (e.g. pasting something in from the clipboard).

Good point.

I agree, using the Change event and tDescrip.text is the best way to go here, but I just have to ask the burning question"Why?"
