ChrW accepts Unicode values, and everything worked like a charm when I used that. Great! It was in zip format?? Yes, if I right click and use "Save

BTW, I got your object to work... I'm such a Newb... I didn't realize that I could just change the .zip to .dxpack and load it!

Hmmm... some KeyDown keys match, some do not. Although some of the keys aren't completely identical, it's still odd - like your "219" value was from " ` / " and my "219" value is from " { [ "... I don't get it Well, the biggest thing I've learned from this is that I should use OnChar function like you did in your text box object and not OnKeyDown/Up functions

Wow - that's a lot of work thomassen! Good job! I was going that route and found a lot of odd behavior in the "key" value I get when using OnKeyPress... especially with keys like "[" and ";", etc. I wrote a little widget that displays the "key" code as well as the codes for keys that have multiple characters (with shift key depressed) to help me with my other widget. Try it out and observe what you get when typing the keys I mentioned above. I

Hello, I'm a newbie to DesktopX, and really diggin' it! I'm making my first Widget, and have an issue. I am using the DesktopX Edit Control for a text box and would like a transparent background. Does this control support a transparent background? If not, can anyone suggest an ActiveX textbox control that does? I tried using a Layer object that is "Text" type and changing it's text using some OnKeyDown code, but I loose a lot of text box funct
