I use FPD2.0 because I have the LCK (Library Construction Kit with the Watcom C compiler). It's wonderful to be able to mix assembler (.asm hope you understand) with Fox : all Fox variables can be used in the assembly code and Fox can drive .asm routines very easily. Using assembler allows me

Neither editboxes or textboxes are containers, hence they can't have 'children' in the sense you are seeking. What you can do, however, is have an invisible editbox that is contained by the same container (form/page/container) as the textbox. You'd make it visible when you need to hide it

I would go with an invisible editbox that I would make appear overlaying the tb whenever a user entered the first numerical operator. You'd discover this by programming the keypress event. When the user exits the eb, hide it redisplay the tb with the result. -Original Message- From:

Thanks Rick, I looked in help but only from the Tab order aspect of things. I didn't find any reference to the Valid function from there. I'm sure the action is the same as it was in FPD. I simply forgot that the motion is relative rather than absolute. - Joe On Saturday, January 03,

Hi Joe You should avoid using KEYBOARD at all costs. It really messes things up while the user is typing. As Rick Schummer said you can use a numeric return value. You can also pass an object reference for the control to receive focus. Mike Yearwood Microsoft MVP 2008 - Visual FoxPro
