Hi Andy,
1. EvtEnqueueKey takes the character code as the first parameter, and
the key code as the second. The key code should always be zero
currently, so calls like:
> EvtEnqueueKey (0x0030, chrDigitZero, 0);
should actually be
> EvtEnqueueKey (chrDigitZero, 0, 0);
2. The delete button should be generating a backspace keydown event
(chrBackspace = 0x0008), not chrDelete.
3. Handling the next and previous field keydown events is the
responsibility of your app - it isn't done for you by the form code,
for example.
