In response to this I would ask you to read my last response to Paul Rehill as it pertains to your problem as well. In your case I would do the following fixes: 1. In the application's open event, change Splash.ShowModal to Splash.Show and remove Window1.Show. 2. Add Window1.Show to the close event of the Splash window. 3. Change Window1's Pushbutton Action event to Window1.Show so the keydown event of the Splash window is enabled. It doesn't matter what the frame of the window is (Document or Modal).
If that represented the behavior I wanted in my application I might consider your suggestion. However: 1) If you were to test my example project in RB 5.5.5 you would find that it works as I intended, indicating that at some point RS changed something about this aspect of windows. I consider that a bug. If you're okay with it, that's fine with me. We don't have to agree on everything. 2) The simple fact that you can turn on the Visible property of a window being shown with ShowModal to fix the problem -- i.e. KeyDown events are handled -- seems to belie your logic as far as I can follow it. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
