You might also want to know that the form has a property called KeyPreview. &nbsp;If you set this to true you can have the Form look at the keyboard events first...might come in handy if you only want to write one event handler.<br />

I have a Edit TEdit, used for a bar code scanner. &nbsp;In the code, after I scan a bar code, I do a TEdit.SetFocus, to keep the cursor on this field so I can scan another bar code label. &nbsp;This works fine with one exception. &nbsp;I can't tell it I'm done. &nbsp;I would like to be able to hit the 'F4' key to say I'm done with scanning, let me move to the next field. &nbsp;The only problem is that I'm using the 'OnKeyPress' event. &nbsp;It doesn't recognize function keys.<br />
<br />
How do I get the OnKeyPress to accept function keys?<br />
Thanks<br />
