Change the function of keyboard-key

Hello,
I want to change the function of PLUS-key on the numeric path into a TAB-key.
I want to have also a TAB-KEY onthe right side of my keyboard.
We made a procedure and it seems to work well, but of it passes a Date-field, the date is update one day. 17-06-2009 --> 18-06-2009.

Does anyone has an idea?
Thanks.

- Code to make the PLUS-key a TAB-key
===============================================
In the projectcode:
Event(ChangeToets,"*.*",WM_CHAR)

Globalprocedure:
PROCEDURE ChangeToets(pMessage, wParam, lParam)
IF wParam=43 _AND_ lParam=5111809 THEN
SendKey("{TAB}")
END
===============================================

Huib,

That doesn't seem to be due to your code (event) .
Must be something else.

Hi...

2 things...

1. You are not sending back any result in your global procedure, which means that the normal processing of the + key is called anyway... you should do an _eve.result=0 to block it

2. This behavior (adding a day) is a standard windev behavior, but we don't know which event they are intercepting (it could be keyup, by example)... So if the solution 1 is not enough, you may have to try and intercept other events and block them when on a date field

Best regards

Hi Huub,

Have you considered using the Enter key? If you don't have any validation type buttons this is a more logical option, since most end-users are prone to use Enter. (I find validation buttons annoying most of the time anyway)
About the date field: If I hit plus or minus in a date field nothing happens, so it's not a standard Windev feature.
