I Know from experience, this is the default behavior in VB which uses Windows Native
Listbox with a
wrapper around it with fewer properties and methods exposed and I just tested a
ListBox in Delphi to
confirm this and that is Its' default behavior or, as it only behaves this way, maybe
I should call
it the Only behavior.
This is why the Set Walk Off has no effect in 7.0. Even with Walk ON only, you still
can press a
key and it will take you to the first element in that key range.
But there is no grousing over this issue in 7.0 cause that's just the way it is and
always has been
in 32bit windows.
Anyways the (Ctxt(Float(currency))) deal should get rid of the Currency symbol and let
it walk for
you.
