Hi,
This is a strange issue I'v been staring at for half a day now.
It concerns catching keys via the onkeydown handler.
In IE5+ it works fine but in Moz 1.6 (& Firebird 0.7+) it behaves most
peculiar. The 'offensive' code is included below.
The weird thing lies in the alert box preceded by // **.
* function textboxReplaceS elect *
If the alert is active it works perfect. No key duplication in the textbox
on the screen.
insert the comment ()i.e. take out the alert) and one gets two characters
instead of one.
It almost looks like something 'shoots through' because (to make things
worse) the last alert shows me a singular entry as well.
To test the code just use the following
TIA
Fermin DCG
<html>
<head>
<script>
var isIE = navigator.userA gent.indexOf('M SIE') > 1;
var isMoz = navigator.userA gent.indexOf('M ozilla/5.') == 0;var _character;
var _keyCode;
var _charCode;
// decipher key down codes
function showDown(oTextb ox, evt) {
_keyCode = _charCode = _character = null;
evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
if (evt) {
_keyCode = evt.keyCode;
if (evt.charCode) _charCode = evt.charCode;
else _charCode = (isIE) ? _keyCode : ((_charCode) ? _charCode : _keyCode);
_character = String.fromChar Code(_charCode) .toLowerCase();
}
textboxReplaceS elect(oTextbox, _character);
return false;
}
/** THE OFFENSIVE CODE
* Replace the currently selected text with some other text
* F.e.: when a <x> is pressed in an empty textbox it should come out with
1 x only on the screen.
* @param oTextbox = the textbox to act on
* @param sText = the text to insert
*/
function textboxReplaceS elect (oTextbox, sText) {
if (isIE) {
var oRange = document["selection"].createRange();
oRange.text = sText;
oRange.collapse (true);
oRange.select() ;
} else if (isMoz) { // THIS DOES NOT WORK AS EXPECTED
var oldText = oTextbox["value"];
var iSelEnd = oTextbox["selectionE nd"];
var iStart = oTextbox["selectionStart "];
oTextbox.value = "";
// ** UNCOMMENT AND THE CODE WORKS
//alert("1.textbo xReplaceSelect: :"+oldText+" - "+sText+" - "+
oTextbox.value) ;
//oTextbox.value = oTextbox.value. substring(0, iStart) + sText +
oTextbox.value. substring(oText box.selectionEn d, oTextbox.value. length);
oTextbox.value = oldText.substri ng(0, iStart) + sText +
oldText.substri ng(iSelEnd, oldText.length) ;
//alert("2.textbo xReplaceSelect: :"+oTextbox.val ue+" - "+sText);
oTextbox.setSel ectionRange(iSt art + sText.length, iStart + sText.length);
}
oTextbox.focus( );
alert("exit.tex tboxReplaceSele ct::"+oTextbox. value+" - "+sText);
}

I have sub-classed the TextBox. In its OnKeyDown event I can intercept key
strokes, examine them, etc. When I get a certain keycode (e.g., 'A') I want
to change it to another unicode key from a different code page (e.g.,
"\u2801"). But the KeyCode, KeyData, and KeyValue properties of KeyEventArgs
are all only getters. They are read only and thus do not permit changing the
assigned KeyCode. My question is this: How do I change the KeyCode...

Hello!
I wonder can somebody explain when is it suitable to
use these methods
OnKeyUp, OnKeyDown and OnKeyPress
because these raise an event. These are located in class UserControl.
If these raise an event how do I create an handler to catch these raised
events.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
