Hello all,

Sorry, I believe this has been asked here before.
When I am editing something in a TEdit box (runtime), I want to be able to  
press ENTER (and thus accept the input). The program only beeps at me when  
I press ENTER. The Forms KeyPreview is set to true.
Any hints ?

regards

Try the following

procedure TEnterForm.FormKeyPress(Sender: TObject; var Key: Char);
var
        done: Boolean;
  next: boolean;
  i: integer;
begin
        if Key = #13 then begin
        Key := #0;
        if (ActiveControl is TDBGrid) then begin
        with TDBGrid(ActiveControl) do begin
        done := False;
        next := False;
        i := selectedIndex;
        while not done do begin
                if selectedIndex < fieldcount -1 then
                selectedIndex := selectedIndex + 1
          else begin
                SelectedIndex := 0;
            next := True;
            end;
          done := not Fields[SelectedIndex].ReadOnly = True;
          if (not done) and (selectedIndex = i) then
                done := True;
          end;
        if next then begin
          TTable(DataSource.DataSet).Next;
          if TTable(DataSource.DataSet).eof then begin
                selectedIndex := 0;
                TTable(DataSource.DataSet).Append;
            end;
          end;
        end;
        end
    else
        Perform(WM_NEXTDLGCTL,0,0);
    end;
end;

It handles the problem very well.
