In response to: "after you get 'keyDownEvent', call 'FrmHandleEvent' or 'FldHandleEvent' before you process it. The new char should've been in the field then -mguo"
The problem with this approach is I'd send a second event for a single key entry. The text field then displays a duplicate character for each key stroke. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
