Keystrokes in Listbox
I want to handle all keystrokes while a TLISTBOX from
the Pascal-OWL (WIN3.11) has the focus myself.
I tried already wm_char, wm_keydown,
lbs_wantkeyboardinput, wm_vkeytoitem and so on, but
I got always the standard-key management from WIN .
Any Idea?

I'm not familiar with Delphi (I use BC++), but did you write your own listbox control or are you using the windows-standard one?

Hm. I must say: all you recomend I tried already.
The listbox behaves every time in the standard-TListbox manner.
*After* doing so it tries to process my code, but this is to late. What I want is simple: if you press a sequence of keys I
want the listbox to move the selection to the entry starting with
this sequence. But it moves allways to the entry which starts with the *first character* of the sequence....

As I understand it, your code is being run, but it has no effect. In which method is your special processing being run? Actually, if you could send me the relevant source code at olsonmd@aureate.com, I'd like to take a look at it and see if I can spot the problem.

Thank you! But there are meanwhile several versions of the code
(none running well) and some of them are erased already.
I will try to make a ultimative one and send you in a few days...(unfortunately have to do other things before) Thanks again!

Sounds good.
