I appologize in advance for my ignorance... I'm not a GUI programmer, have never been a GUI programmer, and will probably never BE a GUI programmer.

Somehow, this doesn't matter to managment.

I'm writing a program used for data-entry. The vast majority of data will be input using the number pad. What I'd like to do is be able to use the enter key to move from one text field to the next, ie it starts at the top field, I type a 1 <ENTER> and it moves to the second field, and so on, until you get to the end, where enter fires off a function that submits the form.

I don't really understand all this talk about Accelerators, and looking through the archives, I've seen several things that look useful, but there doesn't seem to be any general agreement (that I can see).

I don't have all that many text fields, so putting an individual key trap on each of the controls, that just moves focus to the next one, would be just fine, I'm just not sure of the best way to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
