Dear Sean
You could sub-class the windows handler for MapInfo in a C DLL. Your
program would need to look at all keyboard messages and let through D
for digitiser S for snap ( and probably everthing else) but dont let
through escape.
I've used this technique so that I can let user type in commands like
LINE,TRIM,EXTEND etc. and to know where the mouse is at any time to get
intersection snap.
I think its better to taking away the escape keys!!
Good Luck,
Regards
Bob
