CommandBarKeyDown Event

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I am trying to use the new event (10.2 2006 Q2 release) on the command bar called 'CommandBarKeyDown'.  It fires on the keydown event as expected.

I want to trap each keystroke in a commandBarEdit object within a command bar and extract the text property.  The problem I am having is that the commandBar.selectedControl.Text property of the edit object does not get updated until after the keydown event completes.

I see the typed character on the window but the text property does not contain the character, until after the event finishes.

Was that the intent, and if so, can anyone suggest a solution?

Thanks.

	Hi, As workaround use Edit.EditHandle property + api GetWindowText.

	Thanks for the reply. The approach I have taken is to set a logical variable in the KeyDOwn event that is picked up by the update event. By the time the update event fires the command bar editor text attribute has been updated with the users last keystroke. This seems to work for me.
