I have forgotten are you hand coding or using ClassDesigner to create the dialog?. To best of my knowledge controlling a dTextBox key events works the same in Dialog or a Form. So show us the code you are using to get the key strokes in the dialog. If this a special case dialog and you find no other way pass the dialog a reference to the calling form. Try something like this: myDialog = dabo.ui.dDialog(self, .........) myDialog.CallingForm = self Now myDialog.CallingForm can be used for whatever you see as required. or Any of the other methods of passing data to a dialog.
