hi,
    i made a program that uses the form keydown method to trap the keyboard
interupts from the user...i'm using the function keys but when i use the F10
key the user must have to press the button twice for the certain action to
take effect but when i try to change the key to some other function keys
like F12 the action is ok.....in the first press...if i try to press some
other keys it seems like the other keys were locked... and after the second
press on f10 the other keys are ok.

    why is it like that ?

thanks,
Orly

Microsoft Windows intercepts the F10 key, which causes the first menu
item to become selected. If you look closely at your menu, you'll see
that its first item is selected the first time you press F10.

F10, like F1, has a standard meaning in Windows programs and should not be
used by a program for its own purposes. F10 is an alternate means to activate
the forms menu (like the Alt key). Ctrl-F10 will activate a popup menu for the
active control.
