why if i use TAB key on the keyboard to select save button it will become enabled

do you have any code in the OnExit event of the Edit, or in the UpdateActions event of the form?
Show some code.

in your previous post you have this code:

procedure TForm1.nameKeyUp(Sender: TObject;
  var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState);
begin
  if (name.text = '') then
    Save.enabled := false
  else
    Save.enabled := true;
end;


this is what does it ...

is it standard TButton?
normally when Button.Enabled := False;
button shouldn't react to TAB (behaves like TabStop := False)

ziolko.

below is my code
whenever i use tab it will automatically enable save

Select allOpen in new window

yes, that's how you programmed it to behave ...

what are you trying to accomplish ?

try

procedure TForm2.Edit1KeyUp(Sender: TObject; var Key: Word; Shift: TShiftState);
begin
{if (Edit1.text = '') then
    button2.enabled := false
  else
    button2.enabled := true; }
end;

procedure TForm2.Edit1Change(Sender: TObject);
begin
if (Edit1.text = '') then
    button2.enabled := false
  else
    button2.enabled := true;
end;

is the behaviour you want the following ?

the form opens and the data is displayed.
After the data has changed, the save button becomes active
After saving the Save button is disabled ?
