RE: TZF - DBCtrlGrid and TTzEdit

Thanks for the quick reply.  

Your suggestion sounds good.  I forgot about the ability to grab the keystroke at the form level.  I'll try that.  Sounds like it should work.

Am I right that the DBCtrlGrid grabs the enter key and does not pass it on through the event hierarchy?

has its TabOnEnter property set to true, so when the user presses enter, the
cursor will advance to the next control as if Tab was pressed.  However,
pressing the enter key is not having the desired effect when the TTzEdit is
on this grid.  It appears the DBCtrlGrid is intercepting the Enter key and
just discarding it.  I did a little debugging to see if the OnKeyDown or
OnKeyPress events were firing for the TTzEdit controls.  If I pressed a
function key the OnKeyDown event fires.  But if I press Enter it does not.
Any one have any insight about this behavior?  Any help will be appreciated.

Try setting keypreview of the form to true (if it is not already).

I use a keypress of the form to get this behaviour. I replace enter with #
and go to the next control.

Hope this helps.
