Hi,

I got a different answer (from delphi-programming@yahoogroups.com) which I think is more like what I had in mind:

>>>
Hi ...
You can use Tform.OnKeyDown to capture the inputs,
This is don't need an edit box to detect it
And also set the KeyPreview := True in the Form properties

Hope it helps ...
