NKEYCODE = 19 Problem 1

[redzombi5k]

Hi guys,
I have come across a strange problem with the keypress event of an editbox.
I am tring to set up a hot key for 'Ctrl+S', and it appears to run properly, only after the code has run it places a '' in my edit box. After checking my code and finding nothnig wrong, I changed the nKeyCode to 18 'Ctrl+R' and ran it with absolutly no problem!
Can anyone else reproduce this, or have a suggestion?
my code is as follows...

DO CASE
CASE NKEYCODE = 4 && CTRL + D
THIS.Value = ALLTRIM(THIS.Value) + TRANSFORM(DATE())
CASE NKEYCODE = 19 && CTRL + S
THIS.Value = ALLTRIM(THIS.Value) + CHR(13) + 'No Signature on Soft Copy, Emailed Advisor' + IIF(THISFORM.TXTAdvNum.Value <> '', ' ' + ALLTRIM(THISFORM.TXTAdvNum.Value),'') + ' on - ' + TRANSFORM(DATE())
CASE NKEYCODE = 18 && CTRL + R
THIS.Value = ALLTRIM(THIS.Value) + CHR(13) + 'Need Rental Agreement - ' + TRANSFORM(DATE())
ENDCASE

Thanks!

Not sure I understand the problem. Are you saying that everything works OK, but you don't want a strange character appearing in the text box?

If so, add NODEFAULT to the code. That will allow the key to be trapped, but nothing will appear in the textbox.

Sorry if I was unclear, yes I am saying I do not want that strange character to show up. I am not putting it there, it just shows up, but only when I use 'Ctrl+S'. If I change the above code to use a different hot key, then the strange character does not appear. Crazy, I put the following code in to remove it, but the strange character does not appear until after all code in the keypress event has run...

WAIT WINDOW 'now removing the '
this.Value = CHRTRAN(ALLTRIM(this.Value),'','')
WAIT WINDOW 'should be gone now'

the above code will remove the strange charater after any other key is pressed, but that is not exactly what I am going for.

Ahh! Mike, Thanks! That solved it I just put the nodefault directly after the code for my hot key and strange charater gone, however I still wonder why this was happening...

I'm not sure either why you're seeing the strange character. I've just tried typing CTL+S into some of my applications' textboxes, but nothing appears.

Still, I'm glad my suggestion worked.

As am I, by the way mine was a edit box not a text box so mabey that makes a difference, but im just as well to let this mystery die, and call it solved!
