how to stop cursor keys from activating radio buttons?

Hi,
I have a form with some buttons and a graphical user control,
I need to use the cursor keys to move the camera position
in the control, but it has the unfortunate side effect of
cycling through the button controls on the form and changing
the state of the radio buttons, wich is catastrophic.

how can i stop this?
ive tried setting tabstop to false and handling the keyup/down/press events
in the form and user control
and setting handled/supres to true but its still doing it.

any ideas?
must be something simple somewhere im missing im sure ...

If you set Form.KeyPreview to true, the form gets all keystrokes before
any individual control does, so you can handle (and cancel) any special
key events that should take priority over the normal behaviour.

thanks seems its not suficient to handle the OnKey events,
but the ProcessCmdKey handler too wich handles the cursor/menu keys etc
before.

Hi, I recently read this article on About.com on how to create required fields for a form: http://javascript.about.com/library/scripts/blformvalidate.htm Everything works great except that there are no instructions on how to make checkboxes and radio buttons required. I've tried adding these to my form, but I'm having no luck. Anyone know how to add radio buttons and checkboxes using the existing code mentioned on the url? Thank you!

I'm trying to create a dynamic form that can have multiple groups of radio buttons (each group has two buttons) with the same name. Essentially, the form allows a user to enter as many names as they want. If they need to add more, they click an "add name" button and the javascript inserts another row of input boxes. Each row should have two radio buttons to indicate sex (M F). When you have multiple text input boxes with the same...

Help, I need to display radio buttons on a form. The data is from SQL table: each row in each table is displayed as a radio button. I have multiple SQL tables so I understand I need to put them each in a GroupBox. All the examples I saw from the books or from the web show me how to add static radio buttons at design, or dynamically at run time but with fixed radio buttons (like from an array). I need to create radio buttons based...

I have the following code generated from a database, I want to have javascript calculate the costs of the selected items using radio buttons, subtotal the costs and grandtotal the costs ready for the selected items to be inserted back to the database.

I have a page that has a number of radio buttons that will be displayed to different access levels of a user who logs in to my website. For instance, if there are a dozen buttons, user1 will see all twelve. User2 would see buttons 1-3,10-12 and NOT any others, and so on. Since there are several buttons on the page (each one would run a report for them), is there a way to - in an onclick event for each of the buttons - to...
