I am making use of the flex-grid, and are using SendKeys with the various
arrows to move through the grid manually.  But when I send this command the
num-lock flashes every time, and CAN change state - which is very unhelpful
when entering data using the number pad.

Is there any way around this - perhaps sending a message to the flex grid to
move to a cell??

I would really appreciate any feedback,

Thanks,
Julian.

Hi all,
I've run into the same problem as Julian,  not just with the flex-grid but with
textboxes aswell. I'm using the SendKeys"{tab}" to move focus on Keypress=enter.

Are we doing the right thing??!?
 TIA

The problem with Sendkeys playing with NumLock is well known, well at least
in the MS Office environment.  But I think it affects VB as well.

Possible workarounds:  Don't use 'em :);  if you must, then pack the
separate Sendkeys into one statement, instead of multiple Sendkeys;  put a
DoEvents between different SendKeys statement.

I _sounds_ like it's the solution to my problem. With the warningbeeps
on CapsLock and NumLock turned on it's very anoying.

Sorry Graham :-(
The idea of using SendMessage instead of SendKeys was good, but it
didn't work out for me.
I want the focus moved from one textbox to the next in tab order when
pressing the Enter key.
My code is as follows:

     Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
         If KeyAscii = vbKeyReturn Then
             SendTab
         End If
     End Sub

     Sub SendTab()
     Dim l_ret As Long
         l_ret = SendMessageByNum(Screen.ActiveControl.hWnd,
     WM_CHAR, 9, 0)
     End Sub

All I get when pressing Enter is a double beep (both from the Keypress
event on a non writeable char, i.e. 13, 9)

How do I make the focus move to the next textbox on pressing Enter??

TIA

Copy - Paste the above code to your app and try it (be shure to have
KeyPreview of the form set to True)

Hope this helps ...

Well, maybe it shouldn't
It does anyway. Try the Accessibility Options and turn on sounds for
changing the CapsLock- and NumLock-status, then you'll hear its changes.
Very annoying...
