Re: Need help with chkkey & getkey V6.5++ dos

on the Keymap assignment, enclose the map to the right of the comparison in your quote character.   Note that quotes can be used on BOTH sides of the comparison....But RSTYLE only suggests that you might want to add them to the right of the comparison.   The following works... SET ESCAPE OFF SET KEYMAP [f12] = '[Enter]' SET KEYMAP '[alt]z' = '[Enter]' PAUSE 2 SET VAR akey = (LASTKEY(1)) SET VAR bkey = (LASTKEY(0)) IF akey = '[F12]' THEN SET VAR vmsg = (.akey & 'was pressed') PAUSE 2 USING .vmsg AT CENTER CENTER ELSE SET VAR vmsg = (.bkey & 'was pressed') PAUSE 2 USING .vmsg AT CENTER CENTER ENDIF SET ESCAPE ON SET KEYMAP [f12] OFF RETURN   ----- Original Message ----- From: Bernard Lis To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 10:27 PM Subject: Re: Need help with chkkey & getkey V6.5++ dos I still don't understand -- here is my eep   set escape off set keymap [F12] = [Enter] set var akey = (lastkey(1)) if akey = "[F12]" then pause 2 using "F12 was pressed" endif set escape on set keymap [F12] off return Am I right in saying that the exit eep won't execute until I press [Enter] to leave that field.  So the last key is [Enter] not [F12] How do I detect that [F12] has been pushed?

I touch F12 but nothing happens.  Of course the eep doesn't execute until I exit the field.  so how do I use it?   I want to bring up a second form when F12 is pressed.   Bernie Lis Megabytes, Inc.
