Hi, Bruce:
I noticed the same problem when in a form, when the operator presses the escape
{x} key. It just exist.I also noticed that most of Razzak's examples do not
have the escape enabled, but have a button to close the form.
So, the question to the RB group is: Can we interpret when the escape key [x]
is pressed while in a forms?It would be nice if we could capture when it is
pressed.

Apparently by default, a Form terminates when the [esc] key is hit; no matter
the setting of the ESCAPE operating condition.
But I'd like to capture an [esc] key-press within a Variable Edit control, to
direct focus to an 'Exit' push button control, thereby avoiding Form closure.
Thinking that an On Key Press EEP might do the trick, after reading the
R:Syntax descriptions of the CHKKEY and GETKEY functions, and ensuring that
ESCAPE is set to OFF, I tried this:
IF (CHKKEY(0)) = 1 THEN IF (GETKEY(0)) = '[027]' THEN PROPERTY cid_pb_exit
SET_ACTIVE_CONTROL 'TRUE' ENDIFENDIF
RETURN
This fails; the Form terminates when I hit the [Esc] key. Using '[esc]' also
fails.
R:Syntax reports that the GETKEY function "Gets the text value, in brackets, of
the first key ..."
A "...text value, in brackets..." issue? A Syntax problem, perhaps?
Appreciate your help! Bruce
